Tony,

Your problem has been seen in many forms, and is generally caused by either
misconfigured / overlooked firewalls, or by registry setting restrictanonymous.
Misconfigured / overlooked firewalls:

Registry setting restrictanonymous:
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/07/restrictanonymous-and-your-server.html>

Are both computers using the same Workgroup name?

If that doesn't help, provide "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from each
computer, as a start. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow
instructions precisely:
