first of all, don't use that crap - secondly, don't use the stupid network wizards. if u want it done right, do it manually.

drop to a command prompt on both machines and type ipconfig /all - this will tell u the ip address of each machine.

after that - r they at least on the same subnet? what is their DHCP servers IP?
