Thanks for the reply, Chuck.
To simplfy matters as much as possible, the two computers that I am now
using are the inaccessable desktop (OFFICE) XP Pro SP2 and another desktop
(DESKTOP) also running XP Pro SP2. Checks with Ipconfig and Browstat are
comparable with LAPTOP used for previous data. As mentioned before, all four
computers see and communicate with each other in several configerations,
except OFFICE can not be accessed on the network.
In response to your instructions, I have numbered them and give the results
of the actions below:
(1) Both computers use Windows Firewall and they are disabled.
(2) Both computers normally use Simple File Sharing. Tests were run with
both enabled and both disabled. No access either way.
(3) Set up per directions and verified. No access
(4) I did not perform this since it requires setting up passwords (which I
don't use and perfer not to, and dosent seem to be required. Will do so if
critical.
(5) Set up per directions and verified. No access
(6) Set up, verified, and exercised a number of permutations. No access
Is there any command that resets all (most) registry, et.al. to default
values?
All of my other systems have worked "out of the box", but reinstalling SP2,
and I suspect even XP Pro doesn't reset the problem parameters. I hope
reformating isn't my only option!!
Thanks again,
Bayard
