Larry. Windows fire wall is off. I can ping the machines, and can
access the machines through explorer. The pass phrases are all the same
"behappy" and since it's all networked, my login and passwords are the
same. Just in case, I did run the smpd -register command to no
avail. We're attempting to work around the problem now by cloning one of
the working hard drives.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
