Your problem "I can't see each computer from the other" may have several causes.
# Connectivity.
# Registry setting restrictanonymous.
# Browser conflict.
# Misconfigured or overlooked personal firewall.

Are both computers connecting to the Internet OK? If not, you'll have to solve
that problem first.

Check restrictanonymous on each computer.

The browser provides the contents of Network Neighborhood / My Network Places.
Diagnose a browser conflict by running "browstat status" on all computers.

Look for any misconfigured or overlooked firewalls. What antivirus products do
you use?

If no help yet, provide "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" for each computer,
and some details about your network, here, and we'll diagnose the problems.

Tell the Wizard that the computers connect to the Internet through a
residential gateway (your router). Other connection options can block
file and printer sharing.
