I think the 'why' of why this isn't going correctly is in some setting somewhere's but we keep adding & removing things & you are 'remote controlling' someone else, so its hard to say exactly 'change this' or 'that' etc, I have to wait for reconfirmation of something, then you ask a conceptual question & I give you too much info & leave you confus-ed ;) & the whole things been 'meandering about' (like you say, like some 'educational exercise') for quite a bit longer than perhaps it should, because of that ;)
When he comes back, you want to either consider an xp pro client & use that for sharing, or concentrate on getting all the clients exactly the same in terms of netbios scope..
Its just a settings issue somewhere, I foolishly though having an idea of the why's might help ;)

Well cant you fly over and fix this then??? Its lovely here this time of year. A little humid perhaps as our wet season is just around the corner but its only 32C everyday and we have airconditioning.https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2007/09/1.gifhttps://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2007/09/1.gif
Seriously though I agree with you it is hard to do this remotely. When he comes back we will take it from the start and I will untick simple file sharing and set it up like my own network, which I might add worked flawlessly and I had no trouble setting it up.
