I think there is just one last thing. I have the file sharing working - sort
of. The client pc is sharing with the server and the server pc is showing
it's shares, but still not allowing permission. I am suspicious of one
setting, because I believe it is the only thing different from one pc to the
other. Does LMHost lookup have to be on or off?

Actually, I just found that I had turned of IEEE Authentication in one of my
previous attempts at troubleshooting this thing. Okay, now I'm really
confused. I turned authentication back on, and tried, then I disabled
'verify certificate'. Am I getting close? It doesn't seem to matter which
option I had chosen for authentication. My client pc is still sharing files,
the other server is still showing all its shares by not giving permission to
access.
