Hi, Chuck -- hope you had a nice Thanksgiving (I see you're from Calif).
Here are the ipconfig and browstat results for all three computers, in this
order Main - Dell - Compaq. "Main" is the problem computer; it's also the one
that the peripherals are hooked to if that makes any difference -- two
printers, wireless router and DSL modem. Both the Dell and Compaq return
Error 5 when trying to connect to Main.

Here is the info for the Compaq -- note that I acquired this unit used from
a company that had it in a large LAN -- may have some impact on what the info
shows -- this is connected via a DLink Wireless card -- which the IP config
doesn't seem to see:
