go to start/run and type whatever the ip address is on the other computer you are trying to connect to.

Example:
//192.168.1.100

Also, do you have a shared folder?

Nah...just been quit busy. Sorry to leave you hang'n

To check your what your IP is there are a few different ways.

One way is;

1. start/run type cmd, now type ipconfig and hit enter, from there it will give you your IP address, Subnet mask and default gateway.

2. start/control panel/network connections now go to your local area connection and highlight it, from there off to your left in the details box it will also give you your ip address as well.

I will keep an eye out for this thread so ask away for any other questions.
