well if same workgroup doesn't help then you should use either hosts file or
type in the IP your self.

type in IP: set the ip manually on each pcs
hosts file: run this at Start, Run command
notepad %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

add ips and names below 127.0.0.1 localhost

example:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.100 mycomputer
192.168.0.101 mypetcomputer

remember: mycomputer and mypetcomputer should be repleaced with the actual
computer names. to find out your computer name, go to cmd prompt and type in
hostname.
