Chuck,

thanks for the reply. I disabled my personal firewalls
after setting up my Netgear router/firewall so that's not
the issue. Simple File Sharing is enabled (and recall
that file sharing was working up to a week ago). As
such, I'm attaching the ipconfig info with the MAC
addresses truncated for security reasons:


SNIP diagnostic data

Seth,

What personal firewalls did you disable? Many third party firewalls are known
(and I have advised in problems) to not being successfully disabled. You have
to re enable, then either un install (carefully, following procedures provided
by the vendor), or configure as noted above for file sharing.

If SFS is currently disabled, then that won't be part of your problem. But if
you were to note that it had been mysteriously enabled, this would not be the
first time. And then you would need to check the LSP.

And BTW, the MAC address (as is occasionally noted in various other discussions
in these forums) is relevant only on the physical LAN segment that the computer
in question is connected. MAC addresses do not route.

Cheers,
Chuck

I was running BlackIce on my desktop but I did in fact
uninstall it months ago.

I'll check SFS again.

Both Black Ice and Zone Alarm have been known to present intense challenges in
successful removal. In some cases, relief is experienced only in re installing,
re enabling, then either un installing or properly configuring. Proper un
install is not achieved with firewall disabled or incorrectly configured. No
lie.

SFS / LSP is always a good candidate for problems too.
