Oh. You're communicating locally via NETBUEI, so scrub my
comment about conflicting IP addresses.

If you've changed the SID, get out of the workgroup and
back in to give the other machines a change to get to know
the new you. You may have to get out, change workstation
name to, say \\4, then get in again so the others won't
think it's the same old \\3. The key to simple success
remains in being sure you're logged on to all three with
the same user name and same password. You ain't EVER
gonna get NT to let you through without user ID diddling
if that's not the case.

Believe me, if you were in a local domain, you'd know it.
You're not, if you don't have a domain controller (NT
server only). Besides, doesn't the Id tab of network
properties have "Workgroup" checked rather than "Domain"?

I think I'm actually in a domain, not a workgroup, since I'm using DHCP rather than given IP addresses (with US West, my DSL ISP, controlling the whole shebang. Don't know how much this would alter any of the info you've included...

Domain??? Do you have an NT server??? If not your a workgroup. DHCP has nothing to do with domain versus workgroup.

Dave,

your attacking this all wrong. Did you go through the ping exercise as I requested. report the results back. otherwise your wasting everyones time. There are easy ways to debug and isolate the problem which is what you need to do...
