You mentioned earlier that both the PCs are on the same subnet/mask & in
the same workgroup, is that LAN subnet/mask defined in your firewall
trusted zone? If not try adding it to that zone and see if it helps. If
that doesn't work then uninstall NIS (you can re-install it later) and see
if you can connect to each PC. Post again with the results.
