Re: Selling my soul to the devil is the next step...

Hi Chuck,

So you may state that you're nVidia free, and maybe you are. But be very sure,
because Jack was sure for several days. And found out that he had been wrong,
and found nVidia to be the problem.

Even though sure I'm nVidia free [this PC is 6 months old and I have
never installed the firewall software only the ethernet drivers], I
enumerated the TCP/IP stack twice. Once using the command line on your
site and once using the software from MSKB 299357. I had previously
used WinSock XP Fix 1.2.exe as well (before we 'met').

Anyway, it's your computer. I'm not looking at it with you. So if the problem
isn't the NIC, what's the problem?

I realise that it is important that I follow a logical route for you
to be able to help me, so I will always do what you ask. I did notice
earlier today that PC1 and PC2 would not show any servers under the
workgroup name *unless* PC3 was switched on. A red herring or vital
clue <g>?

The text of the various ccdiag files are posted below as well as on my
web site www.drteeth.co.uk/lan, to avoid word-wrap.
