You're not providing a lot of detail here. The problem description "not the
other way round" doesn't provide a lot of clues.

Is Password Protected Sharing enabled or disabled? Do you have the right
account enabled on each computer?

Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
My email is AT DOT
actual address pchuck mvps org.
 
Double checl that both network interface cards have Enable file and Print
Sharing checked in the TCP/IP properties
 
I had that problem, and after fiddling, it even switched around. The result
was that the networks were not named EXACTLY the same on each computer, and
merge/delete networks not needed. Both computers have the correct network
names, and I can now see/transfer from each.
