Chuck, two things:

1-I'm thinking the ball is in your court. Is that correct, or is there
something I should be doing?
2-I really don't know what you mean by "I'll advise you to post your
answers after mine." I'm not sure what I should do. In replying to your last
message I did delete all the prior messages.

OK, Ken,

That was the email issue the other night. Couldn't remember, when I got it
open. OK, I'm looking at 3 pictures, but not really sure what they depict. And
bitmaps of screen objects aren't really readable either - my eyes aren't quite
that good.

Let's try again.
# Net view >c:\netview.txt
# Notepad c:\netview.txt
Run those two from a command window. Copy and paste text into your next post.
And add a description, for each computer, what operating system on the computer.

And since you ask, this is me posting after your answers. Don't worry about
deleting, I'll do that periodically. Retaining context makes it easier for me
to find previous discussions.

I guess I still don't know what I need to do you to post after your answers.
I'm using Microsoft's reader and I just click on "reply". Should I be doing
something differently?

As you requested, following your instructions, this is the result on the
work computer running XP Professional:

OK, Ken,

I covered (hopefully tested) the bottom posting issue in my other post. So
let's address the problem.

So both computers see each other, in "net view".

Now "net view" gives a high level view of the network, from each computer. To
diagnose this problem, we need "browstat status", "ipconfig /all", "net config
server", and "net config workstation", from each computer.

Thanks for the instructions on how to post under a message. I think I did it
this time. Hopefully, it worked.
