well, if your sharing internet then they're networked *so you can skip the first step, which is whether they can ping each other.
Give each computer a unique name (right click>properties on My Computer) and make sure they have the same "Workgroup."
Now find a safe area to share (usually a folder), because it's generally bad to share whole drives. Right-click on the folder and go to properties.
There should be a "sharing" tab. In there click the "shared" checkbox and below that decide if you want write access. Click ok.
You can gain access to the files from Network Neighborhood. When you first open it, itll show you network bookmarks. In the left column click on Show Workgroups (or something). Then you should see each computer, and in that each shared folder/printer.
There may be a step missing (they moved the "share files/printers" on/off button from NT/98)
Let me boot in XP and double check my post =P
