Sean,
That's a great start at outlining the setup. To diagnose the problem, you might
look at logs from "browstat status", "ipconfig /all", "net config server", and
"net config workstation", from each computer. Read this article, and linked
articles, and follow instructions precisely (Download browstat, and be sure to
start the Vista command window with admin privileges!):
