First question:

Click on start and then the control panel Icon. Once in the control panel, click on "Sounds and Audio Devices Properties" icon and click on the sounds tab. You can change all your sound events there.

Second question:

How do you have your network setup? (router, hub or nic to nic?)
I guess the cabling setup would be the best place to start troubleshooting.
If you are using a router or hub, then the cable would have to be a straight thru. If you are using a nic to nic the the cable would have to be the crossover type.

I guess i can assume that both machines can connect ok to the internet

So... your network problem could be many things. The machines might not be set up to share files or it could even be a workgroup name error.

Not knowing too much about your systems right now, I can suggest that you click on start and then on the "help and Support" icon and try to let that go through your networking setup step by step. Try that and see what happens.
