simply stated. yes.

long answer (not by much)
you need to have the computer set up similarily, with the same workgroup name. i'm prettu sure windows has a built in network configuration wizard.

You can share files in a shared networkmap (drag&drop), but you can't acces system files and maps of the other pc.
