Thanks Chuck!... I made sure that all services and components needed are OK
on Computer A (good one) and Computer B (bad one)? I can?t make NetBT run on
computer B, going via Windows the Enable NetBios over TCP-IP checkbox is
?checked? but going through the command windows it is disabled ("ipconfig
/all")? I downloaded the PSTools and here?s the cpsserv.txt for each computer?

Computer A (good one LEVC)
Start CPSServ V1.02 - LEVC

Find Computer Browser ("browser")
Checking \\LEVC... Found browser on:
\\LEVC


Find TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper ("lmhosts")
Checking \\LEVC... Found lmhosts on:
\\LEVC


Find Remote Registry ("remoteregistry")
Checking \\LEVC... Found remoteregistry on:
\\LEVC


Find Server ("server")
Checking \\LEVC... No active service named server found.


Find WF / ICS ("sharedaccess")
Checking \\LEVC... No active service named sharedaccess found.


Find Workstation ("workstation")
Checking \\LEVC... No active service named workstation found.

End CPSServ V1.02 ? LEVC



Computer B (bad one AJVC)
Start CPSServ V1.02 - AJVC

Find Computer Browser ("browser")
No active service named browser found.


Find TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper ("lmhosts")
No active service named lmhosts found.


Find Remote Registry ("remoteregistry")
No active service named remoteregistry found.


Find Server ("server")
No active service named server found.


Find WF / ICS ("sharedaccess")
No active service named sharedaccess found.


Find Workstation ("workstation")
No active service named workstation found.

End CPSServ V1.02 - AJVC


I?ll look for your answer, thanks again!

Please don't top post, especially when you have a signature with delimiter line.

So Levc is not running "server", "sharedaccess", OR "workstation"? And you say
Levc is the GOOD computer?

Most computers in a workgroup will be running as both a client and as a server.
All computers using Windows Networking should have:
* "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)", in the network items list in Local Area
Connection - Properties.
* "NetBIOS Over TCP/IP" Enabled, in TCP/IP Properties - Advanced - WINS.
* "TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper" service running - Started and Automatic.
* "Windows Firewall / Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)" service (for SP2
systems), or "Internet Connection Firewall / Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)"
service (for pre-SP2 systems) running - Started and Automatic.

Any computer accessing shared data runs as a client. All clients using Windows
Networking should have:
* "Client for Microsoft Networks", in the network items list in Local Area
Connection - Properties.
* "Workstation" service running - Started and Automatic.

Any computer providing shared data runs as a server. All servers using Windows
Networking should have:
* "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks", in the network items
list in Local Area Connection - Properties.
* "Server" service running - Started and Automatic.

So let's start by figuring out why Levc isn't running "server", "sharedaccess",
OR "workstation". Once you're experienced with that, then do the same for Ajvc.
Oh yes, you do have connectivity between each computer and the other?
