Jay,
That's OldPC again - is OldPC the third computer, or the first?
Just to save us a lot of yadda yadda, how about you get all three "ipconfig
/all" logs, and both "browstat status" logs, and post them together. Make sure
you have 5 separate and unique logs.
Sorry, having more trouble. Can't get Browstat to work on the Windows ME
machine and having trouble with my "Copy and Paste" on my laptop. Still
working on it!!!
OK this is from my Laptop:

It's a good thing I can tap into my Windows ME machine, thats how I was able
to transfer all these notes into one.
Thanks
OK, Jay!
To start, OLDPC, which both JBYRD-LAPTOP and OLDPC recognise as the master
browser, has IPX. This is a problem, since it appears to be the only computer
of the 3 with it.

Also, please make sure that NEWPC is not running the Browse Master.

Next, I'm looking at the ipconfig logs. I note that each computer appears to be
on the 172.16/8 subnet, that is, you're using a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. To
be strictly correct, you should be using 255.255.240.0 (172.16/12). I'm not
sure that's relevant to your problem, but it could be a long term problem.

Finally, I gotta be curious. Why are you putting Windows ME on your new
computer? That's like kerosene in the gas tank of a Lambourghini IMHO.
