Can you find the computer? if you goto start then find then computer then type in the name of the other machine. If you can find the machine, it is possible that the machine is not broadcasting to the network to enable this goto the network properties then double click onto file and sharing for Microsoft Networks (assuming you are using Microsofts file and print sharing) and change the LM Announce to yes if it isnt.
