This is interesting what you say about the Windows file sharing and what not. I always blew off any slowness/stalling when browsing the workgroup to just another crappy bonus of Microsoft Windows. Whenever I would observe this sort of behavior it would happen on one or two workstations but not all of them.. eventually it would seem to straighten up. I will probably do a little experimenting the next time I'm setting up a little Windows based peer-to-peer network.

Think I'm going to make it into a chart for the wall! This has been a very instructive 2.5 weeks. I am smarter now with your shares, and the shares of j maccraw, but I am still really afraid to try the class C IP addy series. It just does not seem to work here. Perhaps something very subtle on my LAN, and I have not found it in the last 8 years. And, I freely admit it is my fault. The machines are so much "smarter" than I feel sometimes. LOL! Best, Duncan
