FYI - these are MS owned newsgroups, and even MS recommends using a munged
e-mail address, i.e. one that a human can unmunge if they wish to
communicate directly, but one that would be difficult or almost impossible
for a spam harvesting program to figure out.
Also, I wouldn't trust a single piece of posted information that is
disseminated via "aol.com" domain.

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.
