Re: sharing files via wireless network

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Chuck,

I tried all your suggestions, and everything seemed to be normal. Once I
ran browstat again, however, it appeared that both Desktop and Compaq were
saying that Compaq was running the master browser. Each time I restarted
the pair, they seemed to "argue" if you will, over who was running it.
After I restarted them along with the laptap, I ran browstat and found that
all three machines said that the Laptop was now running the master browser -
and now, for some reason, the file sharing works!

Thanks for all of your help, I really appreciate it!
