HelloChuck
Much obliged for your reply. Please find below results for each PC after
carrying out instructions.
Looks as if there may be something wrong with PC2. Thanks for your help.
Regards
Joaquin
Joaquin,
PC2 (FSSlave) has trouble resolving the name of FSMaster to an address. The
problem is possibly in FSSlave, but I'll put even money on FSMaster. Let's do
some basic analysis.
# Both computers on same subnet 192.168.254/24, fixed settings, same DNS
servers, same Default Gateway.
# Both computers have Unknown node type, and no WINS server defined. This uses
Broadcast name resolution.

# Both computers on same domain / workgroup FLIGHTSIM, and both acknowledge same
master browser FSMaster. Both computers see each other as servers ("There are 2
servers in domain FLIGHTSIM").
# Both computers run NetBIOS Over TCP (NBT), no other protocol or transport.
Please verify that NBT is explicitly Enabled on both computers.

Check FSMaster. One of the most common causes of this problem would be a
misconfigured or overlooked personal firewall, or other security component.
There are other possibilities too. Read this article with an open mind.

Check your Hosts and LMHosts files - do you have entries in either for local
name resolution?

If no useful change or observation made yet, take the following code (everything
INSIDE the "#####" lines). Please DO NOT include ANY portion of the "#####"
lines. (Please verify computer names and ip addresses).
1. Open Notepad. Ensure that Format - Word Wrap is not checked. Highlight
then Copy the code (Ctrl-C), precisely as it is presented, and Paste (Ctrl-V)
into Notepad. Verify, and correct, names and addresses if necessary.
2. Save the Notepad file as "cdiag.cmd", as type "All Files", into the root
folder "C:\".
3. Run it by Start - Run - "c:\cdiag".
4. Wait patiently.
5. When Notepad opens up displaying c:\cdiag.txt, first check Format and
ensure that Word Wrap is NOT checked! Then, copy the entire contents (Ctrl-A
Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) into your next post.
Do this from all computers, please, with all computers powered up and online.
