Your configuration is a bit off. If it is a local cross over cable then do this,

Ensure NETBIOS over TCP is enabled on both adapters, you don't have a DNS server so you want to ensure they can resolve a local WINS address (NETBIOS). Also disable the windows FW, it is completely unecessary unless your connecting your PC directly to the internet without a SOHO gateway device, or if your using a public wireless hotspot.
Windows 7 has this nice feature that lets you setup a profile for different networks. Ensure Link layer topology mapping and discovery is enabled on both PC's adapters. When the PC asks about the network tell it that its "home network". Inside the windows FW configuration set the FW to disabled under home network. This will deactivate the FW whenever it is a local connection. Or you can just disable the Windows Firewall service.
'body farm' closer look ! Warning dnt see if you dont like to see body decomposition

It neatly details each stage of decomposition, and gives us an actual view of each stage. If you can get past the fact that these are actual people, (who donated their bodies for exactly this purpose,) it's actually a bit sobering to see what happens to your body after death. That is, unless you opt for cremation. And I get the feeling that some of you may want to do that after seeing the video. :) WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT please dont see this video if you dont like to see body decomposition and some of the video pics are like this now I warn you guys please make sure........................ :) A closer look at a 'body farm' In this video by Vox, we get a gruelling insight into the process of human decomposition.
