Thanks for the help.
My network is now operational but I'm not sure why.
I went into advanced and added TCP/IP to all bindings. This immediately got
networking functional on both machines. I then went and removed ALL TCP/IP file
sharing bindings from both computers leaving sharing only bond to IPX/SPX.
I rebooted and the network still works. Does this mean I have a functional
IPX/SPX local network?

A couple quick questions about security.
I tested my Sygate firewall on both machines and it finds everything blocked and
stealthed. So I assume as long as the firewalls are up I'm secure.
Without the firewall I have couple ports open and Sygate suggests closing them.
I see this recommended all the time but I've never read anything that tells me
how to do it.
Could you help me with this?

Thanks.
