It never asked before, but did auto-switch once when I changed the router to no security at all (Vista flipped over to public "block everything" mode instantly) which is actually a good thing. But apparently I just had to... wait a few minutes? After I switched it over again today to hack at it again, it just started working. I started by looking to see if the Mac OS X machine could see Core first (it did) and by the time I switched back to the laptop, it could see it again. I guess I assumed that since Synergy was working the visibility should come right up as well, but I guess not.
