I had removed NetBios over TCP/IP for debugging purposes. I used to have
it in. If I have both, I know that they need to be on different logical
adapter numbers. Does it matter which ones? I currently have NETBIOS and
TCP/IP on 0, Can I put NetBIOS over TCP/IP on 1? I never fully
understood the rule on this! I probably do want to put it back in as
soon as I can get req to start, or is it required for requester???

Yes,
net1 = NETBEUI$,0,LM10,34,100,14

I can ping everything on the network, router, gateway, 2 other systems,
2 print servers.

On other item, when I try to start requester, after about 2 seconds, it
goes nuts on the lan. I see traffic at about .5 sec intervals. A
broadcast of some sort? It goes away when I re-boot or shut down.

Your help is very much appreciated.
