Thanks, Chuck. I put remote registry service to automatic, rebooted.
Here's browstat from both. Yes, small steps are good.
Even with remote registry automatic on both computers,and rebooted, I
still get error from mbx-notebook. I'll double check again.

OK, Jack,
We are making progress. You're seeing "error = 5" on mbx-notebook. In other
words, it's doing name resolution properly, and being blocked from registry
access.

Now it gets tricky. You could get an "error = 5" ("access denied") from a
firewall, or from (lack of) authentication. Are you certain that your non-Guest
authentication is properly setup? If so, then you're looking at a firewall
issue again. If not, looking at a firewall issue will be a waste of time.

From mbx-notebook, hit Start, select Run, and type in "\\amd64\c$" (less the
""), and hit OK. What do you get?
And let's see what CPSServ shows us.
