Jake,

OK, here's what we know so far.
- Name / address resolution OK. Hybrid / Unknown should work fine.
- No gratuitous protocols - just NBT.
- Both computers on the 192.168.1/24 subnet, both connecting to DHCP server
(router) and getting settings.
- Both computers acknowledge GATEWAY as master browser, and GATEWAY sees both
computers ("2 servers in domain JFGNET").

The most likely cause of this is a firewall problem - start with this link and
read the entire article, reading linked articles where appropriate.
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/your-personal-firewall-can-either-help.html>

Next, let's diagnose the problem in depth.
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/using-cdiag-without-assistance.html>

Take the following code (everything inside the "#####"). (Please verify computer
names and ip addresses).

1. Open Notepad. Ensure that Format - Word Wrap is not checked. Highlight
then Copy the code (Ctrl-C), precisely as it is presented, and Paste (Ctrl-V)
into Notepad. Verify, and correct, names and addresses if necessary.
2. Save the Notepad file as "cdiag.cmd", as type "All Files", into the root
folder "C:\".
3. Run it by Start - Run - "c:\cdiag".
4. Wait patiently.
5. When Notepad opens up displaying c:\cdiag.txt, first check Format and
ensure that Word Wrap is NOT checked! Then, copy the entire contents (Ctrl-A
Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) into your next post.


Do this from all computers, please, with all computers powered up and online.
