Thom,

There are 2 common causes for this problem. First, check for misconfigured or
overlooked firewalls.

Next, check for the restrictanonymous setting.

If no help yet, help us to help you. Provide output from "browstat status" and
"ipconfig /all", and we can diagnose the problem. Please follow these
instructions precisely.
