Hi
There is the "solution of last resort", install NEtBEUI and add it as a
Sharing protocol.

Jack,

Thank you. I do have Netbeui ready to load, but I'm not sure I want to use
the last resort yet, since there has to be some logical answer to this
problem--it's the principle of the thing.

I went through Chuck's steps again--all of them--and couldn't find an
answer.

Here is the Browstat result, which seems to be OK--the error #5, he says, is
normal. But maybe not.

Status for domain HSA on transport

Anything here give anyone a clue?

Ken,

This shows one computer (which one?) which can see 2 computers (not 3), and
recognises KAV-OFFICE as master browser. Not a lot of detail here.

Browstat from one computer is a small picture. It's better to look at "browstat
status", "ipconfig /all", "net config server", and "net config workstation",
with each computer clearly labeled, so we can diagnose the problem.
