On both PCs, right-click My Computer and choose Properties. On the 'Computer name' tab, ensure that both PCs use the same workgroup name.
Then you have two options for sharing files:
1. Place files to be shared in the 'Shared Documents' Folder
2. Share a different folder on your network by right-clicking the folder and choosing Properties, then on the Sharing tab enable it to be shared and give it a share name if you want.
Use My Network Places to locate shared folders on other systems on the network.
