If both computers can access the Internet while connected to the same Router
leave alone DNS and other basic Network variables.
Concentrate on the sharing and permission configuration.
Make sure that the Software Firewall on each computer allows free local

be Off, and the active Firewall has to adjusted to your Network IP numbers
on what is some time called the Trusted Zone (consult your 3rd Party
Firewall instructions.
