Some light already given in the reflector!

As far as I know, each computer must use a DIFFERENT copy of the log.
If you keep each copy in a local machine (and I would do so, in order to
prevent dependence to a central computer), you don't need Write access from the
other machine, since the qsos are comunicated via the network, and actually, is
the local Writelog that writes the remote computer's qsos.
Anyway, it could be prevented because of wrong or incorrent user
credentials.

If both computers run Windows 2000 Professional, each computer has its
own user database, so you must have the user you use in one computer,
duplicated in the other. Passwords don't have to match, but then, you will be
asked for it.
Do you have a blank, or the same, Administrator password in both
computers? If so, read above hi.

You just have one protocol in common in both computers: TCP/IP. So,
it's the only used. Surely, the user you enter in the computer that can link to
the other computer, is already in the other computer's database.
