Unable to see other computers in workgroup

This is a bit silly and I know I must be missing something
obvious.
I have installed broadband networking on my desktop and
laptop computers. Both computers are members of the same
workgroup and I have enabled file and printer sharing on
both machines. All this was done under administrator login
also. Both computers are accessing the internet and the
utility tool with broadband networking shows the network
as available, etc. The problem is that neither computer
can see the other on the network. Accessing my network
places shows only the local machine and not the remote
machine. Does anyone have an answer or a suggestion.
Thanks in anticipation
 
Using DHCP from the router? Can you ping each PC by name from the other?
