Answer 2

If you're running XP or Vista the firewall is most likely blocking it. Check your firewall settings and make sure it allows AOE. If you're running XP then both computers must be in the same network. Maybe some more details will make it easier to answer:

What O/S are you running?

Are the two comps in the same network?

What firewall (if any) do you use?
