What you are describing is symptomatic of LSP / Winsock corruption. Correction
is a repetitive process. Be persistent.

Chuck,

I am have a slightly similar problem in that I have 2 PCs and a wireless
router. The laptop runs XP Pro and is wireless and the Desktop runs XP and
is hardwired to the router. Satellite modem services both computers.
Internet works like a charm. I can ping either computer from the other using
IP address. I cannot ping using computer name. "Ping request could not find
host jimdesktop." I also cannot see the other computer when I call up "View
Workgroup Computers". The only other quirk that I see is that IP routing is
not enabled when I run ipconfig /all on the desktop. I have downloaded
"Guided Help" for resetting TCP/IP, but stop every time I get to the
question, Is your internet connection operational? Do not run, if Internet
is OK or words to that effect. I am afraid that I will create a larger
problem. Question, is it OK to run Guided Help, if I have a non-Internet
network problem? Jim
