Mike,
I haven't used ethernet so I'm unfamiliar with your settings,
but a problem I once had with file sharing via serial may be relevant.

Because my machines, like yours were side by side and were all mine,
I was using my first name as the owner of each which somehow
created a problem and "port in use" confusion with messages accompanying.

Since I started giving each machine a different "owner" name - no problems.

HTH,
Terry
