Things don't look good in networkland! Ok, let's start at the beginning.
Open a DOS prompt and try PING 127.0.0.1 and see if you get a response.
If no response, then your network is not functioning and we need to look
further.

David Gillett already noted that you are using APIPA (automatic
addressing). Is there a reason for this? Why are you not using static
address assignments for the computers? If you want to try this but can't
decide on some addresses, try using this pair:
10.1.1.1 and 10.1.1.2 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 for both
computers. Then see if the NET VIEW shows anything.

May the networking gods be with you :)

Peter

p.s. Note to David Gillett - I very much admire your clear and accurate
explanations. Keeps me on my toes to make sure I don't make a mistake! I
would like very much to have you as a guest speaker for my networking
classes.

Added NETBEUI. Same results. Neither computer shows other.
