Hi Helob & Chuck,
Thank you for the detailed and numerous suggestions. I will start working
through them tonight. I had found other postings from Chuck, so I have tried
3 of the common suggestions, including the registry (and I don't have 3-party
firewalls, though the router has a firewall tab - don't know whether I should
open ports just in case?). One thing I noticed is that I have Netbios over
TCP/IP as the Default among the three options.
I will report back - I hope this posting will not disappear by tonight.
Thanks again,
Andy
