ATI by far has the better products. They're great for video (I have an HTPC with a silent HD 3450) and decent in gaming (I have a 4850) for the gaming rig. I gotta say, NVIDIA really is faltering BIG time. The whole defective products (G86/84) buggy drivers, no solid products. Heck, even in the mid-range ATI is leading now with the new 4600 series. This is coming from a guy who's had Matrox, ATI and NVIDIA cards.

Thanks for the response, see answers below: IP address is static and I can ping the machine I can't add the Notebook (Domain) to the Desktop (Workgroup) as the desktop can't find the Notebook in the locations. I logged onto the notebook as local, and got the same error (64) and then when I tried it immediately after that I got error 59 and each time I tried again it kept giving me error 59. Weird.

I'm trying the access the SP3 box from the Vista box, hence I'm calling the net use command from the Vista box. I tried the command you provided above, and it fails with the same error #64 that I had previously. Any other suggestions?

I'm trying to connect a XP SP3 laptop (that is on a domain when I go into the office) to a home desktop PC running Vista SP1 with workgroup (ON: Net discovery, file sharing, public folder sharing, password protected sharing, OFF:printer & media sharing). I've been using the following net use command: net use * \\ip.address /user:domain\account_name It worked, sorta. I did it numerous times and once or twice it worked (haven't changed anything else). But more often than not it's not working and spits out the error: System error 64 has occurred. The specified network name is no longer available. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong, or how I can fix it. I'm not aware of any firewall s/w on the laptop (unless work is installing it via login script and it's hidden).
