make sure you have correct tcp/ip seating. you can check that by using
ipconfig /all on both computer. If they are in the same ip range, try to ping each other. also quoted from http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to setup home or peer-to-peer network If all of the computers in a peer-to-peer workgroup don't have a common networking protocol, a common workgroup, and common user names and passwords, the computers may experience a difficulty to communicate with other computers that are running Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows 95, or Microsoft Windows 98.

Thanks Robert that helped. The reason we couldn't see
eachother was because we both had personal firewalls running. When we switched them off, we could see eachother and hey presto. I just need to work out if there is a way we can see eachother with our firewalls up now.
