Kathi,

I have been playing with many different types of network environments latley
with Windows Vista and I have seen similar issues. I have been able to solve
every one of them. I would need some info on some of your settings to try and
help you out.

I need to know the current settings from Network and Sharing Center's
Sharing and Discovery items:
Network Discovery
File Sharing
Public Folder Sharing
Printer Sharing

Also, do you have any internet security or firewall software like McAfee
Internet Security or Norton Internet Security on the system?
