Your best first bet, if you haven't done so already, will be to run the
Network Setup Wizard on one computer, then either use the option to make a
setup floppy to take to the second computer or run the Network Setup Wizard
on the second computer and give the same answers you gave on the first
computer. Running the Network Setup Wizard configures a number of options
that need to be configured correctly before you can start sharing files,
folders and printers.
If you have any non-Microsoft firewall or "Internet security" software
installed, you may need to temporarily uninstall it while configuring your
network. The firewall software may be blocking your network and even though
the firewall says it can be disabled, the disable feature often does not
work correctly.
