Hi Dave

A couple of things for you to try:

1. Try temporarily disabling your firewall if you're running one until the
pc's can see each other.

2. On each PC enable only the following network connection parameters:
        Client for Microsoft Networks
        File and Print Sharing for Networks
        Internet Protocol (TPC/IP)

Keep in touch. We'll figure this out.

Regards

Vince

Yes to both those questions. Can you think of anything else to check?
