I found a site that mentions System error 6118.
Here their advice and my findings -

System error 6118 has occurred. The list of servers for this workgroup
is not currently available
SYMPTOMS: 1) After enabling ICS/ICF, you can't see any computes on My
Network places. If you try, you may get "workgroup is not accessible".
2) If you use the net view command, you may receive "System error 6118
has occurred. The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently
available." message.
Resolutions:
1) This behavior can occur if you enable the ICF that will closes the
ports for file sharing by default. To open these ports, right-click the
network connection that is firewall protected>
Properties>Advanced>Settings>Service Tab>Add, Enter 127.0.0.1) for the
required Internet Protocol (IP) number. Enter UDP ports from 135 through
139, and TCP ports from 135 through 139 one by one (the external and
internal port numbers should be identical).

After reaching 'Settings" there's no Sevice Tab or Add options.

2) This may occur if the workgroup name and the domain name are the
different.

Didn't think I had a Domain name. Should I make it MSHOME? How's that
done?

3) No master browser. Starting Computer Browser Service on one of
w2k/xp computers should fix the problem

Definately running on both computers.
