JacKDynne, your post is particularly helpful. But, I'm still floundering. I've got 3 xp and 2 Linux boxes on the LAN, No server, hooked to a 4 port Linksys wireless router. (4 hardwired, one wireless). After taking out the IPX/SPX protocol, as you suggested and running Network wizard--ALL SYSTEMS GO. When I rebooted the xp boxes could no longer talk--and you warned of this. I don't yet understand WINS nor Imhost files. I did reinstall IPX/SPX and finally found the tab (not easy) where you can change the biinding order. Now the xp boxes talk. The 2 Linux boxes talk ok and one of the xp boxes talks with the Linux's. Confusing. Guess I gotta figure out what WINS is and what Imhost is and if they apply to my particular setup.
You got me on the right track. Thanks.
