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

Server Name Remark

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\\JANET

\\WOLFEKE Ken Wolfe

The command completed successfully.

Below is the home computer, running XP Media Edition:
Server Name Remark

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\\JANET

\\WOLFEKE Ken Wolfe

The command completed successfully.

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.

Here are the results for the work computer, running windows XP Professional
SP2:

Ken,

You nailed it. The posting anyway.

The diagnostics, so far, are clean.
# Both computers on same physical segment 192.168.1.0/24.
# Both computers in same workgroup "HORIZONTECH", acknowledging the same master
browser "WOLFEKE", and seeing 2 computers.
# Both computers showing NetBT, neither hidden.

<BIG SNIP>

OK, Ken,

CDiag shows 2 positives:
# WOLFEKE cannot "net view" itself by IP address - neither as "192.168.1.102",
nor as "127.0.0.1".
# JANET, on the other hand, CAN "net view" WOLFEKE, as "192.168.1.102".

First, is NetBT explicitly Enabled on WOLFEKE?

Next, are there any misconfigured or overlooked personal firewalls, or other
security component on WOLFEKE? There are several other possibilities too, and
any might be the cause of your problem. Read this article with an open mind.

Finally, we'll look at LSP / Winsock / TCP/IP corruption.
