Umm, that was the problem: with the Windows 7 firewall on, they could not ping each other. (Actually the client could ping the server but the server could not ping the client.) Not to mention NT does not support iSCSI.
Where did I say anything about Internet on this network? A router would do nothing but add latency. Surely you are not saying a cheap router is an easier solution than a short bundle of a few good wires?
