This is not legal unless you have 2 separate product keys. It may or may not be the cause of your problem, but the way this forum is structured, we have to advise you to get legal.

When I click on My Network Places on that laptop it takes me to all the connected folders on the network MSHOME but I just cannot link to them. It says I am not allowed.
It's showing all those shortcuts because you have the box checked to automatically find shared folders and printers. This only means that at one time, it was working - and those shortcuts are persistent till you manually delete them.

Actually, NetBEUI should work through firewalls. It's TCP/IP that's a pain.

Have you tried connecting the laptops with a CAT 5 yet instead of running them wireless?
