I have a 2 laptops and a PC on a wireless network.
Laptop 1 can see laptop 2 on the network and access the
drives on the laptop 2. Laptop 1 never sees the PC.
The PC intermittetly displays the other laptops on the
network, but cannot connect to the drives.

As far as I can see all computers have Client for
Microsoft Networks" and "File and Printer Sharing for
Microsoft Networks" enabled. NetBEUI and IPX/SPX are
not installed. Also all firewalls have been uninstalled.
When I run Net Diag this is the result:

When laptop 1 runs as a diagnostic server, the PC
can't find it.
When the PC runs as a diagnostic server, the laptop 1
finds it.
Can anyone help?
Cheers Mark

First, I'd remove all the network protocols except TCP/IP unless you really
need NetBEUI and IPX/SPX. If for some reason you do need them, remove them
temporarily for troubleshooting purposes and put them back when done.

Second, how sure are you that your physical network is all working
correctly? Intermittent problems are almost always hardware problems, not
software problems.
