Are you using a firewall on either computer? Sometimes windows networking screws up and you can't see other computers, but if you go to the start menu, run, and type \\computername then you should be able to connect to it (depending on permissions on the other computer).

Also, you should be able to ping between the computers, go to start menu, run, type cmd and hit enter, this will bring up a dos box, type ping 192.168.2.3 (on computer #1) or ping 192.168.2.2 (on computer #2).

This should return something like this:
