Herbie...
The same domain/workgroup involves browsing and NetBIOS. It doesn't
restrict connectivity.
You haven't told us how you connect or used to connect from one to the
other. You're also assigning NetBIOS via the router which is probably not
assigning NetBIOS to the interface and you can't browse without it. DHCP
running on a MSFT server can assign NetBIOS, but routers generally do not.
It would also probably be helpful in knowing ipconfig /all of both systems.
