Check that they are members of the same workgroup.

right-click on My Computer > properties > computer name > change

What's your IP addresses on both PC's? Have you set one of them to get its address provided by your internet provider through their DHCP? Sharing internet to the other PC?

Is it cable > PC1 > hub > PC2 ?

For me it is easier with cable > router > both PC

With a router, the router has the single IP from the provider and you set 2 local IP's on the PC's like 192.168.0.101 and 192.168.0.102 or something. A hub has no IP.
But I have DSL and maybe it works differently with cable...
Just that the IP's are important too to get all to work.

More info please! :-)
