Check the TCP/IP properties of the LAN NICs on both machines to make sure they're on the same subnet. They should be something like 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. If that looks good, go to a command prompt and try to ping the other PC. That will let you know if you are "seeing" the other PC at all...

Check the computer properties to make sure both are in the same workgroup also.
