At the bottom of the page will be possible fixes to your problem
The first thing I tried was the ping command at the command prompt

ping localhost
ping 127.0.0.1

All this worked on both computers

net view \\computername

This showed an error: Error 5
Next I tried checking the RestrictAnonymous registry value

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\SYSTEM
\CurrentControlSet
\Control
\Lsa
Value name: RestrictAnonymous
Value type: DWORD

I changed it to 0

This however did not fix the problem
Next I downloaded Ntrights.exe

Then After installation, click on: Start, All Programs, Windows Resource Kit
Tools, Command Shell then type:

net user guest /active:yes
ntrights +r SeNetworkLogonRight -u Guest
ntrights -r SeDenyNetworkLogonRight -u Guest

This was the answer I was looking for as both computers now access one another
