My problem turned out to be an NT "Feature".  You can't have NETBEUI enabled on
more than one adapter.  I did, and the messages in the event log are not
helpful.  I found an item in their support database.  In case you're interested,
its Q103470.  If anyone at @home is listening, you might want to put that in
your "help center" hat.

Everything is working as before now and I'm back to "happy"!

Regards,
James
