Are you sure you set up the Network correctly? Can any other programs recognize the netowork? And roughly what kind of computers do you have (laptops/desktops etc.)

Make sure you are both using the same WORKGROUP in the network setup. If you turn on file sharing and share a folder, can you see it in the Network on the other computer? After setting the workgroup to be the same.
