Glad it worked! Yes, it's a bit like a marriage

There's some more tinkering you can do in there, like telling the machines to reconnect the network drives on startup. That makes it easier to shuffle stuff about (which I do far too much).

It does make the boot-up take slightly longer. If the other machine isn't on the network, it'll spend a few seconds looking for it before continuing. If you then connect the other machine, it won't see it, but if you click on one of its drives in Windows Explorer, it'll take another look to see if it's there, and will connect it if it is.

Once that's settled down (it seems to take a few startups before it beds down) it's usually pretty solid and reliable.

Yes, very like a marriage, in fact!
