Thanks, Jack
I have visited the websites you offered, but the instructions I tried did
not solve the problem. I am a few steps closer though, I now see shared
files in both "network places", but for that computer only. I also found
that I had different workgroup names on each computer, and fixed that. I
also found on my pc that although Intel(R)pro/100VE is not listed in ntwrk
conn, it does appear as the adapter in local network. I have tried "find
printer" on both comps while tryng to print (in printer screen), but get
"directory unavailable". Still can't find pc from ntbk nor print from ntbk.
