Being wireless or hard-wired is irrelevant it both PCs are configured properly.
Is your router acting as a DHCP server or are you running static IP addresses? Are both PCs in the same IP range and do they both have the same subnet?
You can check your IP by going to Start>Run> type "Command", type "ipconfig" at the prompt. If each PC has the proper IP address and subnet then you can test communication by typing "ping <ip address>". IE ping 192.168.1.2, the address being the computer you are trying to reach.
If you can successfully ping the other computer then your "network" is configured properly and you probably have a security/permissions issue within the operating system. If you canât ping then you have a network configuration problem or a physical connectivity problem between the 2 PCs.
Sorry if you already know and/or have tried these steps. There are way too many conceivable problems to look for without having detailed knowledge of your setup.
