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
