Computer "A" seems to have loaded properly (whatever that means) - when I check 'My Network Places' in windows explorer - I can see the shared folders from Computer "A" listed as a sub line - along with entire network\microsoft network\workgroup.
Computer "B" (my problem child) does not display the shared folders from Computer "B" under 'My Network Places'. As I drill down through the hierachy - I eventually get the message that others have reported about access being denied...
******
I have setup a USB wireless point on "B" and a PCI wireless point on "A". I am able to lock on to the signal and affect a peer to peer connection - but that is as far as I can get. "A" will not display any of the shared folders from "B" and "B" will not display any of the shared folders from "B" or "A".
Why is "B" not showing the shared folders under My Network Places?
BTW - in addition to the default shared folders - I have also established 2 slave drives as shared network devices - so they should appear as well...
Does this sound like a software problem? I can't imagine that it would be hardware related (defective part or irq conflicts, etc...)
Appreciate any thoughts...

I booted into safe mode - at which point an unspecified device loaded.
Rebooted and returned to normal mode - no improvement.
Rebooted and returned to safe mode.
Reconfigured entire network settings in safe mode.
Renamed PC and Workgroup
Rebooted back into safe mode
Renamed PC and Workgroup
Rebooted back into normal mode.
System partially correct.
Followed networking instructions and downloaded registry patch @ careyholzman.com/net1.htm
Rebooted back into normal mode.
System stable and works perfectly (for at least the last hour).
Very strange....
