Sigh... and now it does. It wasn't working last night, this afternoon it is. I don't know why. Maybe I didn't let it search long enough for the connection or something. Today, after about 15 seconds of searching, it found it.

The only thing I did was ping for it at a system prompt, as you suggested. The ping found it instantly.

Then I tried, for the umpteenth time, emplode. And emplode found it.

It's sort of like when I tried to get DOOM and Quake III Arena running on the new computer. I didn't even install them, I just copied the whole "Games" directory over (only three games in it) and at first the games would load but they ran very poorly, jerky and unresponsive, and apparently had some sort of memory leak that would crash the game after about five minutes. Then, without doing anything else, they started working perfectly.

It's a mystery to me.
