(even though i wasn't following these steps, it illustrates my problem).... "The most effective action you can take in this case is to remove Microsoft Networking from your PC entirely. (Don't worry, it's easy to restore if you need it.) Just open the Network Control Panel, select Client for Microsoft Networks as shown below, and click the Remove button [mark's note: it doesn't say click the uninstall button. uninstall and install are mere toggles. remove is adios] on the Network Control panel. Click on OK to close the Network Control panel and let your machine reboot. That's all there is to it!"practicallynetworked.com so now you see why i said to former joe... ( #reply-17497704 ) >>>"i believe that i have removed (not uninstalled, but removed) Client for Microsoft Networks from my hd. it's not in my recycle bin, and i don't know where or how to grab it from the installation disk... i don't know what the name of the file is (it's not Client for Microsoft Networks), and i don't know where to put it if i found it."<<< am i making things as clear as mud, tc? ps- i've also posted this stuff to a practically networked forum, but so far all i've received is one reply wherein the poster did not understand that the Client is gone from my hd. :) mark
