Like magic, both Computer B and the Mac immediately saw Computer A and all
its folders and files! No browser problems, nothing.

And getting rid of the hidden firewall also immediately cleared up the

Ken,

Misconfigured and overlooked (and incompletely un installed) personal firewalls
are probably the most common root cause of problems reported here.

Thanks for pointing out the details necessary. If there was a *** list for
personal firewalls, NPF would be at the top.
