Chuck ... an interim report. And thanks again for the advice.
I couldn't find IPX/SPX to uninstall, so I installed it then
uninstalled it. When I uninstalled it, I got the hourglass for about
fifteen minutes, then closed the program. But it seems to no longer be
there. And I don't see any IPX/SPX entries in my winsock catalog,
which follows.

Jack,

This looks better now. So what of the problems? Does the other computer look
similar?
Good Morning, Chuck.
what of the problems?
(Sigh...) The problem is still there. One-way networking. AMD64, the
primary computer can do anything it wants with shared files on the
other two. Neither of the other two secondary computers can open the
shared folders on amd64, although the shared folders are clearly
visible on the other two computers. When you click to open them, the
hourglass appears next to the pointer for about five seconds, then
disappears. There is no error message. No blocked connection attempts
in firewall logs.
Does the other computer look
similar?
Yes, the "netsh winsock show catalog" output on all three computers
now looks very similar, at least for the "entry type" and
"description" lines. There are no references to IPX/SPX now.

The winsock catalog is identical with one exception: The notebook has
one extra entry at the beginning of the report. It refers to MSAFD
Irda [IrDA]. I'm assuming this is something peculiar to the notebook
or to its inactive wireless system.

Any further thoughts about opening this one-way street? You've been
very supportive and I appreciate it.

Jack

Jack,

IRDA is an Infrared adapter, common on portable computers.

I think we're back to the nVidia nForce in AMD64. Armor-On firewall or not, you
loaded the drivers. Go back to the nVidia forums, linked from my article.
