Partial success with home network

[Guest]

both computers run: Version: 5.1.2600
Service Pack: 1.0
host: Hal9000
2nd: Yampei

There is no router. I can ping everywhich way except I
can't ping the NAME of either computer from the other.
Self name pings work
I can see both computers in workgroup from host but only
local shows in workgroup from 2nd pc.
Cannot access 2nd from host even though I can see it.
I have no way to port txt from ipconfig over to host. 2nd
pc has no floppy. I ran wizard on both machines with no
errors.

By adding machine name - ip address to the hosts file on the machines u will
be able to ping each other wrt to machine names.
hope u havent enabled any firewall on 2nd PC.
