The client on one or both machines may not be properly broadcasting its' name.
I see that fairly often, especially with OS/2.  Another way to check for
machines on the network is to do a broadcast ping:

ping 192.168.xxx.255 (or 192.168.xxx.0 - can't recall which is more universal).
 
That should get you a list of IP addresses of all listeners on the xxx subnet
where xxx is the corresponding values from the IP of the machine you are using.
