#17 | I uninstalled Trendmicro from all. I made sure Windows firewall was off. It seems <gmw> and <dad> are still fighting each other. In Network Places Dad can see Lifebook, but NOT gmw, gmw can see Lifebook but NOT Dad, Lifebook can see Dad and gmw. If I ping from each then the results for that are exactly the same as I described for Network Places. | | Junior Member with 19 posts. | | Join Date: Nov 2009 Experience: Intermediate |

#18 | I made some changes and clean-ups and the only remaining problem is that gmw see can Dad but cannot access Dad -- "//Dad is not accessible -- pathway no found" | | Moderator with 96,644 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2002 Location: South Eastern PA, USA Experience: Advanced age & experience |

#23 | Sorry; run the nbtstat -n on each PC. The line "..__MSBROWSE__.<01> GROUP Registered" means Master Browser. | | Junior Member with 19 posts. | | Join Date: Nov 2009 Experience: Intermediate |

#24 | The computer <Dad> is the master -- that line does not appear on the others. | | Moderator with 96,644 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2002 Location: South Eastern PA, USA Experience: Advanced age & experience |

#26 | All computers access all other computers crisply and fully. Also, all computers can ping all others without hesitation. | | Moderator with 96,644 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2002 Location: South Eastern PA, USA Experience: Advanced age & experience |

#27 | Is this only in Safe Mode, or did you get it all working? | | Junior Member with 19 posts. | | Join Date: Nov 2009 Experience: Intermediate |

#28 | This is only in safe mode -- when I load normally it is the same as before the safe mode. Lifebook can access Dad and gmw, Dad can access Lifebook and gmw, gmw can access Lifebook but cannot access Dad. | | Moderator with 96,644 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2002 Location: South Eastern PA, USA Experience: Advanced age & experience |

#29 | This screams out a firewall is blocking.
Using MSCONFIG, try disabling groups of applications in Normal Mode until it works, you should be able to narrow down what is blocking it. | | Junior Member with 19 posts. | | Join Date: Nov 2009 Experience: Intermediate |

#30 | That is what I would have thought right from the start, but right now Trendmicro has been uninstalled and I have not re-installed it as yet. The only firewall now is Windows and I have that turned off. I will try the msconfig........thanks for persisting with me. | |
