You need to setup something to share and if you are using xp pro you need to turn off simple file sharing by going to explorer and under folder option untick the simple file sharing.
Can you ping the pc from the other pc ie type ping other pc name or ip from a cmd prompt?
From a cmd prompt try typing
net use p: \\otherpc ip address\c$ password /user:username on other pc
so it would look somthing like
net use p: \\10.0.0.2\c$ password /user: fred
