Bless you sir Toby.I stumbled on this post by spelling "accessible" wrong in a GOOGLE
search. Two months of head banging is over.
If i may ad a point. My networked functioned until I installed new drivers for my
Nvidea video card.When I did, my XP went to a "you need to register with microsoft"
mode. After calling MS with the numbers, my network quit and I couldn't get it back
until now.Thanks again
