Try to ping from one PC to the other and make sure there is a response, in case there is no response check the firewall(s).
I had the same situation like you 1 PC is XP and the other has Vista both connected to the same router but when I click on "My network places" in XP or "Network" in Vista no PC was visible to the other, and in order to share files between them I just use Start ==> Run ==> \PC-NAME and it works fine.

what firmware are u using? the original from linksys or a custom linux one? (i am using micro dd-wrt on my Linksys WRT54Gv8), it gives me better control over my router..

I found a firmware ( linux based? ) for my linksys adsl router that allows me to access the device through telnet or ssh. Still, I dont really dare.
