Hi Jojo, I have bumped into the problem many times myself and "stumbled" onto your thread and appreciate your explanation. A related question remains.. I remember reading somewhere that after installing the various protocols it was necessary to "wait a while for the network to establish some directory of names/IP addresses" (Loosly quoted here). I recall somewhere 12 minutes being mentioned. I wondered if you were aware of a way to "force" this update of the network lookup table or some way to avoid "waiting in vain" for things to happen? Oh! By the way your message said that you found the answer "elswhere" Can you tell me where you managed to find such "pearls of wisdom" Thanks -M-
