ok where are your other computer connected in the loop? are they connected to the side where accesspoints are connected or are they on the network side, it will make a difference which side its on

Note that your client PC and machine "server" should be in the same subnet.

If you still have problem, please post your ipconfig/all dump for your client PC and machine "server".
