alexpgpNo, I'm not involved in some kind of spiritualist ritual.
I've simply been trying to get my laptop and desktop to talk to each other. After getting both machines setup to same workgroup and enabling TCP/IP, Client for Microsoft Networks, and file sharing (and giving the "network wizard" a go), I found myself still out of luck.
Both machines could, OTOH, ping the heck out of each other. So I tried creating a link using an IP address (e.g., something along the lines of: \\192.168.1.111\ShareName)... and it works!
Mirabile dictu!
Cheers...
