[dba-Tech] Is this laptop any good?

Doncha just love computers? :-)

Has she got anything shared? You need to have something shared before you
can access it... other than that, nothing springs to mind.

Could always try rubbing a lucky rabbits foot, or sacrifice a chicken or
something...

Jon:

For reasons which I will probably never understand, Notebook is now
accessible by the other machines in the network.  In the process of trying
to share the Notebook C drive I ran the network setup Wizard, which create
something called a Bridge which I had to delete to get the Notebook back on
the network.  After which everyone could access the notebook.

The biggest problem now remaining is that none of the machines can access my
wife's computer although she can access all the other machines.  Any hints
on that?

TIA
