Question Window minimizes at start of networked computer

Hi
My sons have two computers running ME networked via ethernet cards and a CAT-5 cable. If one is in use (e.g. playing a game) and the other computer is booted, the window on the computer already in use is minimized. This is a minor annoyance, especially when one is playing a hack-and-slash dungeon crawl . This 'feature' has continued through OS reinstalls and occurred before they installed firewalls and upgraded from dial-up to cable. Any ideas?

Yes, a router would be a good idea
