Also the XP Internet Connection Firewall is turned off on but
computers, and no other software firewalls are installed.

And I just realized that I haven't run the Internet Connection Wizard
on the new computer -ASUS mobo and XP Pro

I think I'm having trouble setting up Place to Share in the Wizard.
I'm not sure what is required here. I tried entering "\\server\share"
but it wasn't valid.
