A good test is to see if you can directly map drives from each machine to each
other. If you cannot, you need to choose "share my drives" from
networking\properties, as well as create a specific share for each drive\folder
you wish to share.

If this works, and you still cannot browse using network neighborhood, you
probably gave IP addresses which are not within each other's range.

For instance:
machine 1: 1.1.1.1
machine 2: 2.2.2.2
subnet: <whatever>
...this setup will map drives, but will not browse in network neighborhood.

this one works:
machine 1: 1.1.1.1
machine 2: 1.1.1.2
subnet 255.0.0.0
