Thanks Chuckcoger. I did check that. FROM MEMORY NB broadcasts are 255.255.255.255 not directed broadcasts on 192.168.1.255. Certainly shared and verified via NET SHARE. Thanks for the tips though. I'll do some research. Been a long time since I did Microsoft networking "in anger". I'll look into the 137/139 thing anyway and try to trace the new PC. I even removed and reinstalled the file sharing. No luck.

Got my other PC back so soon I'll be able to verify if the second PC can connect to the first PC.

Thinking I'll be doing a hard reset tonight -AND- rebuilding my laptop (HDD failure).

Lots of fun..

Thanks, I'll let you know how it goes for sure.
