Chuck, thanks for the prompt response -

The Winsock fix took care of it. Now all the computers are playing
nicely together, except for one. It still can't see the shared folders.
Here is that machine's browstat info:

Mr. Error 53. Odd...the other computers are fine. Am I reading that
output right - is it trying to connect to our network over a wired and
wireless connection at the same time?

Thanks for your help again...

(I can only reply here on Google's groups site, so forgive me if
quoting is odd or non-existent...)

Micah,

Is CLAUDIAOFFICE running XP Home or Pro? If Home, you're stuck with that error.
If Pro, check the Remote Registry Service.

I see that you're also running IPX/SPX on at least 1 computer. Are you running
it on all computers? You have to balance your protocols on all computers, or
you can end up with strange browser situations.
