1) On a workgroup, as Raistlin says, you have to have the same username and password on each machine.
2) To ping, open up a command prompt (Start/Program/Accessories) and type

ping <ip address>

where <ip address> is the ip address of the other machine - it will be something like

192.168.2.25

so

ping 192.168.2.25

If you don't know what the ip addess of the other machine is, open a command prompt on the OTHER machine, and type

ipconfig /all

If pinging by IP address is OK, type

ping -a <ip address>

This should display the NAME of the other machine.

If this works, type

ping <machine name>

e.g.

ping LISALAPTOP
