I am having trouble with Heroes of Might and Magic. I am trying play a multi player game using my home network. Heroes has 3 option for multi play network, modem and direct connect. I am trying the network option. I start one computer as server and the second as a client then run netbios. When I run ipxnet status I get the ip address of the other computer and server started on the server. I can ping from the server and get a response but I get no response from pinging form the client. The games start fine and run great but when I try to start the computer as either host or guest the games shut down and I get "NETBIOS is not loaded".

Both computers run XP home SP2 with all updates. One is a desktop the other is a laptop. The desktop is connected by an either net LAN the laptop is wireless.
