Make sure you're using the same (no more no less) protocols for both computers. Type ipconfig in dos prompt to get the IP for each box (should be different). Then, try to ping each other's IP to see if the connection is okay. It's possible that they're on different workgroup and that's why you can't see each other. However, in that case, you can always access the box by browsing through "entire network" in network neighbourhood.
Good luck!
