You could try running the network wizard on both machines again and make certain both machines show the same workgroup name.
If I run ipconfig - Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection - Media disconnected and Connection-specific DNS suffix - blank
Tunnel adapter Local Area Connection *6, *7, *11 - Media disconnected and Connection-specific DNS suffix - blank
Tunnel adapter Local Area Connection *14 - Connection-specific DNS suffix - blank. Default Gateway - blank

Both machines share the same workgroup name.

During the time spent on my last post, the desktop has now appeared on the network. Wierd!
