DE, Most network problems I run into these days are the result of security tools. Software firewalls, then hardware firewalls, then other goofyware on the individual systems. Make sure to address firewall blocks on both sides of the connection. I'm not saying you haven't taken care of that but I didn't see mention of SP2's firewall or other possible access preventing issues.
It took years for personal file sharing to become ubiquitous, then the mishmash of security tools made everyone scratch their heads again. Not that it isn't necessary but it's a sad backwards slide.
My quick take is that you had driver and security issues, and the security issue hasn't improved. Sorry, I'm really bouncing between work right now but I'll try to check back later.
