Yes, the iptrace was run on the T61 while the desktop was running "net view \\8bells". That
command should have returned the sharename on the T61. And the share was running.

Not yet, it's on my tasklist for later today.

Of course there is that possibility but no, there is not a duplicate IP for this computer.

Sorry, I get confused on the 'buei' thing - can't keep that terminology straight. But I do have
netbios over tcpip active so maybe the answer is No, not true.

tcpip & netbios over tcpip are on lan0
netbios is on lan1

From ibmlan:

net1 = NETBEUI$,2,LM10,34,100,14
net2 = TCPBEUI$,0,LM10,34,100,14
net3 = TCPBEUI$,1,LM10,34,100,14

and from protocol.ini:

[NETBIOS]

DriverName = netbios$
ADAPTER2 = netbeui$,2
ADAPTER0 = tcpbeui$,0
ADAPTER1 = tcpbeui$,1

>Have you checked HOSTS for conflicts?

Yes, and did find a typo there which I corrected but that didn't cure the problem.

I do want to say that during Warpstock Chuck discovered that the wireless nic did not broadcast the
correct MAC, it broadcasts 0:0.... and it was causing a problem for him on a router. There
apparently has been no advancement on the driver regarding this issue. I've read a few things on
the genmac group but nothing indicating any progress. I'm wondering if netbios requires a MAC that
is not O0:0O or FF:FF in order for p2p to work correctly? In other words, maybe I can't get it to
work as long as the driver broadcasts 00's.

I'll check that iptrace of a working setup this afternoon.

Thanks, Jon
