Hi Chuck:
Ribli is C2. There are only 3 computers on the LAN. When I said Guest
account is off, I meant when one checks User Acounts on each system. But I
am using Simple File and Printer Sharing. I enabled Guest account following
instructions in your link about the "net user" command.
So the problem all along has been not having Guest
accounts enable in User Accounts?
Best, CMA

You're using Network Neighborhood to access the computers. Depending upon
which
computer is running as a browser, any computer with network problems can
cause
problems for the others.

The C2 browstat reports a fourth computer:
1 backup servers retrieved from master C2
\\RIBLI

What is Ribli?

Now you're saying "Guest account is off on all three systems.", if the
computers
are running Simple File Sharing, will indeed be a problem. But that
contradicts
your earlier statement "I use Simple File and Printer Sharing and have the
Guest
account enabled with no passwords.".

Certainly, you need to enable Guest for network access.

But, if that's not the only problem, you'll be back at square one.
