Thanks for your reply. I tried disabling the antivirus
programs on both computers, and turned off the autoload
feature of the Norton, restarted, and was able to access
the Pavilion from the notebook, However-- after shutting
down and restarting the next day I have the same problem
again.
I'm trying to figure out what combination of things I did
to get it to work at least for awhile.
Your asked about about the MN700 setting. It is as you
described.
Thanks again for your help, at least I know it CAN work
right.
