You're a tiny bit brief on the details...

Anyway, can you check the IP config for both machines. Check that they're both on the same subnet and the IP addresses are similar. The most common subnet for home networks is 192.168.0.x. In this example, you would expect both computers to have IP addresses which started with 192.168.0. Then, check that they have a subnet set to 255.255.255.0.

Also, check that the two computers are using the same workgroup.

Do you have any firewall software running? This includes things like ZoneAlarm and some antivirus software also includes firewalls. These need disabling or configuring for networks.

Are you sure that the cables are connected correctly between the two computers?
