You don't need IP routing or WINS proxy enabled.
You've enabled file & print sharing & it doesn't work? You've turned the firewalls off on both machines?
What's your exact static IP setup on each machine?

Im pretty sure You can have DHCP enabled and have static IPs, i've done it in the past.

Have made a bit of progress. When I ran the windows network setup it turned on the windows firewall to block file and print sharing (not very clever!). I have now turned them off and can now ping from PC to PC in both directions.
Have disabled the DHCP on the router but still cannot see the other computer.
I have also added each computer to the "trusted" list on the firewalls (Zone Alarm).
I am sure its something minor now and I just wish I knew what it is.
When I have set up a PC to PC network before (no router) each one found the other on reboot without any action from me should this be the case here?

Zone alarm used to do this to me all the time, stopped using it as if you keep your machine clean and you are behind a router little else is really needed.
