Here's a strange one.
My other PC is toast right now so I'm using my "backup". I need to copy some files from my backup to my PPC so I'm trying via Explorer, but I get the:

Hmm... So I did some playing around.. My settings are all correct.. I can surf the net OK.
It's starting to annoy me.. I've tried mapping via IP Address (\\192.168.1.4) and via hostname (using PocketHOSTS too).
Still the same.
So I did a packet trace and I'm seeing packet going out to from the PPC on port 137 to 192.168.1.255!! The broadcast address!! WTF?
So I tried another IP, 192.168.1.1. this is my router, clearly it's not sharing any files but that's not the point.
And the same!! Tries to connect to 192.168.1.255!
Anyone have any idea? I'm seeing no ARP requests, just connections to the broadcast address...
