Suggest you check that the "workgroup" on all three computers listed in the
Network Neighborhood Identification tab is spelled exactly the same.  If
not, change all 3 to be exactly the same.  If this doesn't help, suggest you
go to the Network Neighborhood IPX protocol properties "Advanced" tab and
specify the IPX "frame-type" as "802.2" instead of "Auto" on all three
computers.  If this doesn't help, suggest you re-install the IPX protocol
and MS Client and watch for .DLLs that may be left over from a previous
client installation.  If this PC had a Novell IntraNetware client on it
previously, watch for a "newer" .DLL called RPC*something*.DLL and make sure
you overwrite it with the MS .DLL.

HTH,
Anthony
