It depends on which operating system you have
For example if you have windows 2000
You need to setup a workgroup for each machine. Both machines must have the workgroup name, The computer name can be anything. However I think the computer names must be different
If you have icon down the bottom right hand corner which says local area network unplugged. Then you have a problem.
