You have a network issue and you shoudl contact your network administrator. It is no longer just a VFP/FoxPro issue. If you can't share resources between computers then it could be any number of things:

1. Time out occurring because of bad wiring. Pinging sends only a small amount of data. If that works, then it doesn't necessarily mean the fatter protocols are going to work.
2. Authentication could be a problem. Are both computers in a domain and are you using a domain account?
3. Are both computers on the same network segment? If not, you could have a routing issue. Not all protocols may be routed to all subnets (for more information see you netwrok administrator).

Good luck!

>>There are a number of reasons why this could be the case. The most obvious is if multiple network cards are used to segment the network. Going from A to B, you could be going one way through the network, traversing a different set of network nodes. Each of those nodes is confgiured with the correct protocols. Going from B to C, the same could be true. However, going from A to C could introduce an entirely different route.

>>Have you tried the other way: going from C to A. If it is an authentication issue, this direction may work. If it is a protocol/routing issue, then this should fail as well.
