I have uninstalled and reinstalled the norton programs and I have had
no change in connectivity. What has happened inbetween that process is
that the win32 generic host crashed on me do to something in the temp
files. After, I deleted those files i restarted the computer and now i
am able to connect directly to one of the computers on the network,
share its files and its printer. I still cannot ping the machine even
while sitting on it.
