I did try turning that down to no avail (but see below). Since it's 
the running on the one machine that I couldn't access it made me 
wonder.

This worked ... but only after a reboot. I wonder if releasing and 
renewing the IP in WinIPCfg required the reboot.

Anyway, I take it all back. JasonL, ChrisB, AndyL, and others I 
now forget (sorry) ... you were right all along.

It takes a fair old while for everything to appear though. Several 
minutes I'd have said.

Patience, not one of my stronger virtues, now clear for all to see! 
Oh well.
