Thanks Chuck,

I did this late last night and I was a bit bog-eyed. "Peter", which is the
XP Home SP2 laptop has no problems seeing the other two computers - it can
see and browse both. The problem is with the XP Pro SP2 host "Agnes" which
can see the old "Peter" laptop but cannot see the new "D7285M1J New Dell"
laptop in my network places. Perhaps when I ran cdiag on the old laptop last
night, I incorrecly "released" the ICMP settings - I'll have a look this
evening.

I can uninstal the firewall no problem on the old laptop - all I have to is
save the config. file. But do you think the proble is really with the old
laptop ?

Cheers

Peter
