Hey all here's my problem.
 
I'm able to set up the network succesfully and through the host computer i can see the workgroup(mshome) but not access it.
 
On the client machine I cannot see the workgroup at all.
 
I tried pinging the client's ip from the host and it worked, but pining from the client to the host timed out. Both computers are able to acces the inter net through a router.
 
Every time I start the client up before it loads windows all the way it asks me to enter a network password. It's not a User logon for the computer, jut is asking for a User name password and domain name.
 
It will ping the loopback address of 127.0.0.1 just fine but for some reason it cannot ping the other comp.
 
Anything that I might be missing?
 
Thanks for the help!
