ME 2 ME networking

I have a Dell PC running ME on a Novell network and I conect my Dell laptop to the network to update files. All was well until today. Then my laptop stoped seeing my pc and my pc can't see my laptop. But both can see a third computer on the network. I can send files by copying them to the third pc. I have looked at the network settings and all seems well. I have checked the domain names. I also can only see 2 or 3 computers on my pc or laptop of th 14 conected to the network. All users on the network have the same permissions and rights to all areas of the network
Can anyone give me some ideas as I have run dry my self

Find a PC that is working OK and compare the settings, protocols, etc. Larry

Swap cables computer around. You may have a marginal cable. Larry
