same workgroup?
same user account and password on both?
both have something shared?
shares are to everyone with no restrictions?
windows and/or firewall software disabled or configured to trust the subnet/host names?

Imagine the power if you knew how to internet search

You might also check to ensure both IP addresses are within the same subnet.
