There is no firewall on the ICS host pc (the WinME)

Bummer.. today at bootup on the WinME pc, I don't even see the WinME pc in
the "Entire Network" folder! It use to be there. Prior to that, I disabled
the Browse Master. Hmmm.. I'll put that back to Automatic.


Thanks Chuck! Here's "ipconfig /all" for the WinME pc:

There are WFW servers with an active Browser.

Will any of this actually help?
