Can you provide the brand and model of this router please? And also the operating system that are running on these machines.

The router is a D-Link DI-524. Both computers are running on Windows XP.

Connect both computers to the router, make sure you can connect to the Internet on both computers.

On each of the computer, right click on "My Computer" and select Properties. Go to the computer name tab and change the computer to the same workgroup then make sure you either configure your firewall or disable it.
