fgor some reason i stumbled and got everything installed and then tried to 
start lan server and it worked and the network is back up and running and the 
surprising thing i have never been able to get lan server to start before 
this is cool running lan server on machine clients on the other before i had 
it set up as peer to peer i just wonder if there any updates to the 
networking part of it or should i just run it like this?
