Thats strange, I was having the same exact problem and it started at about the same time. I think it was messed up by one of the MS updates. I tried all kinds of different things to get it working. I ended up with two solutions. One was to create a new user on each PC with the same user...

SBC DSL for $14.95

This deal makes me sick! Not everyone is able to get broadband. I think SBC, Comcast should keep their profit margins up and reinvest into expanding their networks before cutting their prices for current customers. OK, I realize I am being selfish here... :) I hope everyone enjoys this...

Imation USB 1.1 Floppy drive $17 @OD on Clearence
