The Network

As per usual trying to get two computers to share resources is only slightly more difficult than doing taxes. Oh well... As usual the problem was my firewall program being paranoid. Once the right local permissions were set things got working, mostly. I'm going to try rebooting now to see if that solves the rest of the problems.

Edit: And now things are working well. Reminder to self: when you have a problem try checking the microsoft "security" settings as well as the "sharing" permissions. It is insane, but that's what needs to be done to share a resource on a network at times.
