Dear Brian, thanks for your message.
I have 2 pcs in a network, the pc1 is connected to internet.
They run in a network with a worgroup named XXX
I can see the pc1 and its files from pc2, but from pc2 i can not see pc1.
I run all the tests you suggest me.
The test which fail was ping from pc1 to pc2 using UNC. Pc2 to pc1 was
succesfull.
The message was "The operation failed as no adapter is in the state
permisible from this operation"
Have you some other hint?
Thanks
