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!
