Hi Vanessa, What Operating system are you using on both machines?? What protocols are both machines using to communicate? Try looking in control panel, network settings to see a list of services/protocols installed for each network adapter. What type of network cable? RJ-45 plugs are similar to telephone plugs, a lot of networks use this, but could be somehthing else.
If you are running Windows 98, go to sart, in the run box type command and enter, it will open a dos box, in there type ping followed by the name of the other machine, if successful you should see 4 reply from messages with the other machines IP address show. try again by ping followed by the IP address that was returned in the previous command. Win NT / 2000, just change the command in the run box to a cmd.
