subject: Win2k / eCS not talking

Ok - having changed my systems to all use netbios/tcpip, I now find that 
while eCS:eCS and W2K:W2K networking is fine, W2K:eCS is not - but the 
behaviour is slightly different depending on which machine is in which 
system.

When A is in Windoze and B is in eCS, B (eCS) can access A, but doesn't 
show up in A's network places. A search finds B, but when I try and 
access it, says it's not accessible. No more connections can be made to 
the remote computer at this time because there are already as many 
connections as the computer can accept.

This is despite the fact that no other devices on the network (except 
the router) were powered on while I was doing this testing - and both 
machines had been rebooted.

Interestingly we've just got both in eCS and are setting up a new laptop 
with XP (which I've not used before and am learning to hate even more 
than W2K). When we finally figured we had to disable the firewall, we 
connected to the LAN. It found machine A immediately (the one I 
reinstalled eCS on), but didn't find machine B (the one I've just used 
MPTS to remove netbios and add netbios over tcpip).

This certainly suggests to me that I have some problems on machine B's 
eCS network settings.

When I boot A in eCS and B in Windoze, there is no access either way, so 
this is very different.

Any thoughts gratefully received - but pref not the typical Windoze 
"reinstall" suggestion.

Thanks
