What OS'es are you running on the two pc's?
Have you tried just connecting to a share on one of the PCs, without running the wizard? i.e. get the IP address of one of the PCs and connect to it from the other PC?

You have to run the network setup wizard on each machine. You can find it in "Network Connections"
