Basic Checklist for Networking
1. Ensure that all firewalls are disabled for all computers involved.
2. Ensure that all computers on the network are in the same workgroup.
3. Ensure each computer has "file and printer sharing" installed.
4. Ensure that you have 'File Sharing' enabled - to do this, right-click on any Drive/Folder/File on one (or all) of the other computers, and select 'Sharing and Security...'. Ensure that 'Share this folder on the Network' is enabled.
Once done, goto Start, Run, type: \\Other Computer's IP Address - for example: \\192.168.1.102
To find out each computer's IP Address, goto Start, Run, type CMD, press 'OK', and then type: ipconfig
When troubleshooting, it's always best to actually disable all firewalls. The fact that you can ping both computers means that your physical setup is working. Therefore, it is most likely a software issue (ie: Firewall).
Please let me know what happens when you try to create a conneciton with the other computer.
