Look at the Node Type, in "ipconfig /all".

And check to make sure that NetBT is explicitly enabled on all computers.

Chuck, Thanks for the reply. NetBT was enabled, but the problem wasn't that
simple. I learned that the PC was infected previously with spyware and my
nephew who 'cleaned' it told me that he thinks he remembers a message about
the WinSock system being broken. I opened a case with product support and the
ultimate answer was that the TCP/IP protocol stack needed to be reinstalled.
It's a neat trick, considering that you can't remove the protocol and it
doesn't show on the list of protocols to add. Basically, you have to Browse
at that point and point to the INF folder to reload it. It worked like a
charm!

Thanks for the update, Rick!
