I spent a frustarting few hours the other day trying to get 2 PCs to
talk to one another; one with Windows NT or W95 the other with W95.
Each could browse the network but saw only their own machine. I
eventually swapped out the cable, T-pieces & terminators which cured
the problem. Check the hardware.
