Open My Network Places
Click - setup home or small office network - on the left bar under network tasks.
Click Next and Walk through that wizard
click ignore disconnected hardware if you have too
You can basiclly accept the defaults but make sure they are both in the same workgroup.
Reboot PC
Run the Wizard on the other computer and make sure you turn on file and print sharing when prompted in the wizard.
Hope it helps!!

That usually means that the network settings on the two PCs are not identical. Rerun the network wizard on the working computer. At one point you can choose to save those settings for use on the other computer. Save them to a floppy or memory stick. Then take it to the second computer and use it to set up the same configuration on the second computer.
