Sue,

We are going to need more information on how your network is setup, such as
protocols installed and which adapters they are bound to, are there any
duplicates of the protocols, what OS is each computer running, how the
computers are connected, cross-over cable or through a hub, how file sharing
is setup, whether it is user-level access or share-level, workgroup name,
computer names, IP addresses, subnet mask, and default gateway if you set
them up, do you sign on to get on the network, and anything else you might
think is relevant.
