Thanks to all those that helped me here, I finally got both of my computers to recognize their nics(linksys lne100tx), so I installed the drivers and rebooted. I hooked up the rj45 cable from computer A to my router(linksys befsr41). Hooked up a second rj45 from computer B to router. After I clicked on network in the control panel to configure tcp/ip.
Under the ip addresses I put 192.168.1.2 for computer A and 192.168.1.3 for computer B. The subnet mask I wrote in 255.255.255.0 for both of them. In the Identification tab next to computer name I wrote computer a for computer A and computer b for computer B. For work group I put Home for both of them. Reboot and I should have a working LAN. Well when I go to network neighborhood, in computer A I see only computer A under entire network. In computer B I only see computer B under entire neigborhood. Can anybody help me and tell me where I went wrong?
P.S. I am running zone alarm on computer A

check to see if you have enabled "file and printer sharing" under the network setting.

You have to enable file and printer sharing in network neighborhood. Then share the drives for the network by right clicking each drive, choose sharing and follow prompts.
