Actually you were looking at it a little backwards. If you could access the
client computer from the host but could not connect to the host via the
client, the problem more then likely is in the setup of the host computer,
not the clients. so the reinstallation on the client would probably do no
good.

Since you can access the client it is doing what its suppose to do, the Host
is the clog in the network. Are you running a firewall program on your host?
If yes try disableing it or setup an exception for your clients IP Address
to allow access.

Hope that clears up a few things in the way you should think about the
problem.
