This is getting out of hand.  I have spent weeks trying to figure this out
and am no closer than when I started.  Desktop sees and access laptop, laptop
sees but cannot access desktop.  Computers connected to hub. Both have
Internet access through hub to ISDN Modem.  Have hooked up a few computers on
network and none can see desktop.

No firewalls interfering, permissions set and resources shared.

Is there a possible hidden firewall built into the nvidia nforce NIC on an
ASUS A7X8X Mb?  If so how do I turn it off?

What other possibilities could there be?

Also when i run ping or Ipconfig on laptop it disappears before i can read
results?

For the love of God Man help ME?

Hi:

I'm no expert in the fidl of networking but just completed setting up a home
network successfully - 3 laptops (windows 2000) and 1 PC (windows xp) .  I
found that the windows firewall on the PC was running and when I stopped
that everything connected.

It did take me a few days but everything is running and running VERY well,
btw.

I'll bet you are running ping from START RUN?  Try opening a command window
and using ping in there.

Bob

Do a simple test. Can you ping the desktop? If yes, what's the system error when using net view \\desktopip? Or check this search result.

Brad,

Please read about the nVidia nForce first.  Yes there is a firewall involved.
Read the linked articles too.
