Howdy, I'm Marty Easton and I'm an alco....wait, wrong support group. ;)
Actually, I have a network support question for you folks: here at work, we 
have a simple two-computer peer-to-peer workgroup network for one of our test 
lab systems.  There's no outside or internet connection...it's isolated.  I'm 
having issues trying to get the two computers to communicate with each other 
over the network, though.  
- I'm using a previously established known-good hub
- I've swapped cabling, but still no go
- they're both static IP, set for different IP addresses.  I've ensured 
matching subnet & gateway
- I've done a netstat on both, here's the odd part: PC 1 gives the normal port 
breakdown, but PC 2 lists nothing.  Strange.
- I've tried DHCP, no avail
- here's another kicker: PINGing one computer from the other nets no packet 
losses, on either side.  All four tests pass.  But neither computer will see 
each other otherwise.
I'm at a loss here.  There's just something that I'm not seeing.  Any of you 
fine folks out there got any suggestions for me?  I'd certainly appreciate it.  
Thanks!
Marty
