Have you made a shareable directory or drive on one or both of the
machines? Check the Properties Menu for the dir/drive for Share
options.
I usually just Map a Drive/Folder rather than make the entire drive
accessible to sharing for security's sake.
Also, you need a user on both machines with the same password.
That aside, PC networking can be incredibly frustrating.

Aditi,
This sounds like either a firewall problem, or a browser conflict. This
particular scenario is discussed fairly frequently at
microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web. Please read each of these articles, and
linked articles, as appropriate:

Double-Click "My Computer", right-click your Drive C, select "Sharing and
Security", check the
box, "Share this folder", click "Apply", OK. You need to do this on both
machines.

------------------------------
If either computer has an internet connection, make damn sure that you're using
a router with a
NAT firewall, or at the very least, Windows firewall active on BOTH machine. If
not, all your
files will be accessable to anyone on the internet.
Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Network Connections, Local Area
Connections, General tab,
Properties button, Advanced tab, and check the box, "Protect my computer and
network.... etc",
click "OK"
