Did you check your IP Settings? (Make sure your IP address is on the same subnet? Make sure your subnet mask is the exact same.)

Also make sure that on both of the computers, that there aren't any other controllers (NIC or Modem) that are on the same subnet. (Maybe you have 2 NIC cards or a NIC card and a Modem that are using the same subnet)
