Your post lacks essential details:
- Actual IP addresses
- Firewall details (ZoneAlarm, bundled with some virus scanner)
- What exactly you mean with "cannot see"? Can you ping?
- Configuration: Hub? Router? Cross-over cable? Internet connection
Sharing?

You did not quote the actual IP addresses, but seeing your
response on your ping tests it seems almost certain that
you have a firewall issue. The firewall could be in your router,
it could be bundled with your virus scanning software, or it
could be part of your VPN setup.

Well, i shut down the anti-virus (PC-cillin) and yet it is still the same

my gateway ip is 192.168.2.1

i assign 192.168.2.11 to PC (1) and 192.168.2.18 to PC (2)

Shutting down PC-Cillin may not have the desired effect -
turn off its firewall instead!
 
Well, I disable it and shut off PC-Cillin, and it still the same. Even the
"Computers near me" icon is missing!!!
