Jose,
OK, you have 2 challenges there. As I write about so much, Windows Networking
can be so simple generally, but so complex occasionally. One of the times when
it's complex is when you have a different protocol stack on various computers.
That's like being in a party where everybody there speaks a different language,
yet some people can listen in multiple languages, and translate internally.

I'd start by removing IPX/SPX from Girls, and restarting both computers. If
that doesn't help, leave IPX/SPX out still, disable IPV6 on JoseLuis, and
restart both computers.
If that doesn't help, rerun both diagnostics, and post updated logs (all 4
please), and we'll do more diagnostics.
