That's the idea, Bruce. You have to configure a personal firewall to trust the
other computers. Aka RTFM.

BTW, the service that you were looking for is "lmhosts" NOT "imhosts". It stands
for "LAN Manager Hosts". LAN Manager was the original Microsoft networking
product, back when they had Windows For Workgroups.

Configure properly, then repeat the tests.

I actually setup a batch file for myself. You may want to do the same, because
until you get everything working, I'll ask you to rerun this test repeatedly, to
update the inventory of what is working and what isn't. That's the only way I
can keep an idea in my mind whether we are making progress.

psservice find browser >c:\psservice.txt
psservice find lmhosts >>c:\psservice.txt
psservice find remoteregistry >>c:\psservice.txt
psservice find server >>c:\psservice.txt
psservice find sharedaccess >>c:\psservice.txt
psservice find workstation >>c:\psservice.txt
notepad c:\psservice.txt

Of course to use psservice like this, you have to put it into a folder that's in
the Path.
