THANK YOU! That did it! I also set the Browse Master property to Disabled
on this guy. Not sure if re-installing the client is what did it or Disable
Browse Master, but it's fixed.
Sweet, now I just need to figure out how to share my printer drivers. I
guess without a Windows NT box, I need to look into something like imprints.
Anyone have any luck with that?
Thanks again!
