Hi Thomas,

What did you do before what didn't happen ?

Were there any error messages ? What did they say ?

You might want to check that the IP addresses haven't changed.

Then you could try pinging the other machine's address from a command prompt.

If the IP addresses are changing on you, you might want to configure the 
machines with static addresses, or give them permanent addresses in the DHCP 
settings in your router.

All the best,
Mark
