Are you sure your on the LAN and the same subnet. Could be a number of things. Though you'll probably find its a security precaution. I use a program on all my LAN's which make each computer invisible to the other.

Im assuming your just not getting a ping reply. If this is the case, it could be firewall settings. Ping the ip and ping the name (only if you have reverse dns set-up).
