Hi,
I use 1st Up Netserver.
I did resolve the problem by changing the name of my workgroup. I was
looking at one of the other posts like mine and someone replyed with this
link.

I ran all the checks with no luck until I got to the name changing thing. I
don't know how that had anything to do with it but it worked. Thanks for the
help.
