Are the workgroups matching? You can also do a manual connection by their IP instead, and the name should resolve itself.

Make sure that NETBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled in TCP/IP Advanced Properties on both machines. If you still can't see the other computer in Network Neighborhood, I'd install NETBEUI protocol on both machines.
