The computers have to be in the same Windows Workgroup and you have to "share" the folders you want to be available. To set up a share right click on the folder, select properties and then "sharing" That should work

if after sharing it they still fail to see each other run IPCONFIG from the cmd prompt and try hitting the box that way...

from RUN type the following then hit enter:
\\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\(sharename)
