Get a command prompt open (Start Menu -> Run -> Type "cmd")

Then do "IPCONFIG" and it'll tell you the computer's IP address, which will be 192.168.x.x (there'll also be your router's IP address, which will be 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1)

Open a command prompt on the other computer and type "ping (the first computer's IP address)". If it just says 'timed out' then your computers aren't able to comminicate at the most basic level. If it gives a more detailed response, they can at least see each other and you now need to work out why you can't file share.
