Hello,
My hosts.hfaxd has  these lines first:

localhost
127.0.0.1

I put in the LAN range like this:

192.168.1

With that line, users on the lan no longer had to use a password to log 
on using WHFC.
This is not a problem on the network I have. You could also try putting 
in the IP of the specific client machine only.

Try out enabling your lan like that, ans see what happens.
