Please look into these:

(a) Any security software blocking connections.
(b) Network Discovery is not enabled.
(c) Network issues involving hubs, routers etc.
(d) The workgroup name should be same.
(e) Try to use FQDN names and see if you can reach the systems.

I inherited a 2004 Dell desktop at my office. I would like to forward webpages to people.On other computers, I simply pulled down the "file" column on the toolbar and where it said "send", it would give you the option to send a link or the actual page. When I do that, it gives the message: Socket Error 11001, Error Number Ox800CCCOD.I have no actual contact with my internet provider as it is provided by the office owner as part of the rent. Can you please help?

Two days ago I used your service to reprogram my system. Since then I have not gotten sound out of my speakers, which were operational before that process. I have checked all connections, I do get an audible sound when certain events, such as closing an email, occur, just not when I run a video with sound. Thanks for any help you can provide.
