Assuming you already setup the folders for sharing on each PC, make sure you can ping each other.

On eachcomputer go to Start > Run > 'cmd' > OK
Type in 'ipconfig' to find out the IP address of each machine
If using like a linksys router the default is 192.168.xxx.xxx
After you have both IP's type in 'ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' (IP of the other computer)
Make sure you get 4 replies back

If you get replies both ways, you can verify that it works by going to Explorer and in the top bar type in '\\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\sharename' (using the IP address of the other computer) and hit enter.

It should open the shared folder on the other computer.

Hope that helps...
