Give both machines an ip of say 192.168.1.1 & .192.168.1.2 - sequential addressing makes things easier for troubleshooting ;-)
DISABLE simple file sharing, and set permissions as required.
Both machines should be in the same workgroup.

The FIRST 2 steps in troubleshooting networks are ping (ping 192.168.1.1 from 192.168.1.2 and vice-versa) and event logs, suggest you disconnect from internet while disconnecting firewall - especially if u have enabled netbios, file & print sharing and "client for MS networks" - all 3 are redundant for normal internet access.
