The basic answer is that other computers have to be listening for connections for you to talk to them.

Here is a link to an Apple knowledgebase article about finding other computers on the network:

Hi,

Why can’t I see all the other computers on my home networks?  When I launch the 
finder, I can’t see all the other computers on my network.  They are used by 
different people but I think I ought to be able to see them in the sidebar.

Also, in the sidebar of my finder I can see an item “remote disk” but it is 
empty.  What is it?

Many thanks

Andrew
