Have you tried turning off Windows Firewall on your machines? I also
presume you aren't running any other software firewalls.

I do actually have another firewall, but thought it was configured
correctly. I'll disable and see...
I did disable it on one computer and was unable to ping it from the other.
I'll attempt a complete disable and see if I get better results.

Doh! It was my Symantec Firewall. Nice to know it works so well... Now
the big question, how to configure so the firewall is active but allows
file/print sharing only with the computers I specify?

Setup firwall to allow all traffic in the network to/from addresses
192.168.0.0 upto 192.168.255.255
That should do the trick

(replace addresses if you are using other lan-address range, but always
x.x.0.0 upto x.x.255.255)
