Connect the cable to the modem, the modem to the router, and all PCs --
wired and wireless -- to the router. That will help make all PCs visible
to each other. Then set each PC to be a DHCP client, and enable the
DHCP server capability on the router.

There are several reasons why F&P sharing may not be working for you, but
from your note, I'm guessing that your problem is caused by connecting one
PC to the router and the other to the modem.
