Thanks for the advise.
I was running the flash tool as admin, and i did verify that win p cap service was running, but 2 things dawned on me based on your post, Windows was treating that network as public and the firewall was enabled, i tried it w/o the firewall active, didn't work. i know Win7 can be fickle about programs making changes so i set the ip to 192.168.0.100 and the flash worked.
Thanks
