SHAZAAAAAAAM! HOUSTON WE NO LONGER HAVE A PROBLEM!

Chuck,

That did it. I disabled NetBIOS and IPX/SPX protocols on both machines and
instant connections for both machines. All I have running now are:

Client for M'Soft Networks
File and Print Sharing
Internet Protocol TCP/IP (NetBIOS over TCP/IP was already enabled)

Thanks ever so much for your help and patience!

Best regards,

Bob
