Ok.....something worked and I suspect it was the LLTD fix. Now on my pc when
i go to map a network drive I'm seeing all the other pcs on the net.....but i
still can't see the other server in the other office....It is a Windows 2000
Server....I'm going to start looking into what it requires on that end for
Vista to see it......
