Everything solved.
Computer Browser service was not (for some unknown reason) starting from
'Manual'. I set it to Automatic and all is working.
My email address is as phony as a Bill Clinton $3.00 bill! And I change it,
and my UserName here about once a week!
Tony,
I'm glad that you solved your problem. The browser service, and subsystem, is
frequently a cause of network sharing problems.
Your email address may be phony, to you, but it is not polite. By posting with
your current address (an actual existing domain), you could be causing unwanted
email (spam) to hit the email servers at nbc [DOT] net currently. In its worst
form, it could become a DOS.
Also, the clueless, who do not know not to post their actual address, may see
you as an example. The clueless, who are also the ones who don't properly
defend their computers, then provide the next sets of hosts to further spread
unwanted email and other internet traffic.
