Firstly, ensure both PC's are members of the same Workgroup (in "My Computer" properties... Ensure the name is the same).
Otherwise, go into the control panel and select the network connections doohickey. Right-click the network connection you're using for the LAN and select properties... You probably need to install the "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" protocol:
On the General Tab select "Install", Select "Service" then select the File and Printer Sharing.
By default only the shared folder is "shared" on the network. To share something else, right-click it and select "Sharing and Security" and go from there.
From this point you can browse to that shared folder from the other PC by going to \\target pc name\share name
For that reason, you might want to consider renaming the PC's to something straightforward as well 
If the printer is connected to a PC rather than the router you'll need to perform a similar operation on the "host" PC's driver to share the printer. The on the remote computer the simply add a "network printer"
(I hope that lot makes sense)
