From explorer on the other computers, I go to Entire Network, then MicrosoftWindows Network, then my workgroup name, and I see all the computers on the
network including the new ThinkPad. However when I click on it I get the
error message:
\\ThinkPad is not accessible. You might not have persmission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you
have access permissions. The remote server has been paused or is in the
process of being started.
I even tried adding the protocol "NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible
Transport Protocol" since I saw a tip that suggested it, to no avail.
Explorer still gives the same frustrating error message.
I think that the NWLink tip is bogus. Windows networking works best
with the same, single protocol on all computers.
Steve,
Here, I suspect, is the tip in question:

"I also had this error message, and then I read on another site that I needed
NetBIOS for a mixed OS enviroment -- XP and Windows 2000 in my case. I went to
the properties of the Local Area Connection and installed a protocol called
"NWLink IPX/XPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol" from the install list."
Yes, I think so, Chuck.
A few years ago, there was a notorious poster in the Windows XP
networking news group who recommended adding IPX/SPX to solve all
networking problems. I think it was bad advice then, and now.
LOL. Cue "Memories" playing in the background.
