Make sure that you are both using either Starcraft: BroodWar, or Starcraft. You both need to select the same one.
Also make sure that you have patched up on both computers (http://www.blizzard.com/patches/ )
Also make sure that you are selecting the Local Area Network UDP, not IPX. If you don't see this option, then you're not patched up.
You also want to make sure that any firewalls on your system (Windows XP Firewall, for instance) are configured to allow port 6112 udp. If you're on windows XP, be sure to see here: http://www.blizzard.com/support/?id=msi0549p . You need to be sure that ALL of the firewalls are configured.

turn off your firewall.
