Were either CMM-8200, Miguelito, or Bliss connected (Ethernet or WiFi) when you
ran the browstats? Are all Ethernet connections made to the switch, or do you
connect any to the router? We have to figure out the two domains that were seen
by Data and Neobat.
All connections Ethernet were via switch. Miguelito and Bliss are two
lap tops that the local school teachers have and they connect to the
Inet via the WIFI and do not connect to the network. CMM-8200 is my
wife's machine and it was on when I ran the Browstat. Odd when I
booted only NEOBAT and CMM-8200 and both were teh ONLY browser service
running I checked CMM and it said browsing was not active. Went into
Services and found that the browser had stopped. It woudl not
resatrt... woudl start then sto. Set to Automatic and re-start if
stopped. No clue why that was happening.

OK, Bruce, that might be a clue. I thought CMM sounded familiar - you just
didn't include it in the later diagnostics. CMM is the one that had NetBEUI
(did you successfully remove it?).

Let's try something different. Get PSTools (free, and small) from SysInternals.

PSService is a useful tool here. Use "psservice find (service)", and list where
each of these services are running. For instance "psservice find browser".
browser
lmhosts
remoteregistry
server
sharedaccess
workstation

Those service names represent the following essential services, in that order:
Browser
TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper
Remote Registry
Server
Windows Firewall / ICF
Workstation

What security are you running on the WLAN?
Nada! The routher does have a box checked for Denial of service for
echo attacks.

We are litterly in the jungles of Belize so there is no "War Driving"
possibilities and I have added teh FIXED IP and MAC addresses to the
two teachers computers and no one else can really access it with
theDHCP server option turned off. So no WIFI security at all.

OK, we'll not worry there. That's not a worry I lack, so I always make sure,
when dealing with any WiFi LAN.

And what's the model number on the switch?
Switch only has Nexxt Solutions 8 port 10/100M switch on top with a P/N
NW223NXT01 on bottom.

Noted. Let's see what happens when you connect the computers to the router.
