Re: Help! I need help with setting up my network desparately!

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



My apologies for the lateness in replying. I found all the articles suggested
to me by Chuck to be very helpful indeed. After following up and reading
them all I now have my network set up and working pefectly. My laptop turned
out to be the source of my problem. NeTBios over TCP/IP had been the
difficulty and once I had corrected this and uninstalled Zonealarm on both
machines everything was fine.

Thanks again to all for your expert advice.
