S. Justin,
Thanks for your comprehensive reply.
Yes the firewall is on, that's SP2's way.
I tried the browser adjustment, it is darkside of the moon COOL, mostly because
it is so simple.
I'd still like to find a solution, when I'm collaborating, I like to peek at the
pages on my desktop to coach my associates on what's right or wrong back on the
laptop.
My workaround is to host the whole project to my LAN Win2K server, but that
means that I have to spend nearly an hour updating moving & testing all the
databases and any path issues just to have a working version on my laptop, which
cramps my style when it's time to go out to a client.
