Hi Nicholas,

You may want to check any firewalls on the machines - is zone alarm
installed? If you add your local LAN subnet into the trusted zone this can
sometimes sort it out.

The other thing - as with all IP propagation - is a bit of patience. Put all
machines on DHCP and in the same workgroup - making sure the router's DHCP
server is set up correctly. Turn it all off. Turn on router, then boot up
PCs - then have a cup of tea - let the router determine who is on each port.
I have often sat there scratching me 'ead - only to click view/refresh on my
network places ... to see them all pop up!

Good luck.

Where are you - Geographically?
