best you can probably do is A/B switch the keyboard & mouse as well. you have to have a way to communicate with the operating system on that 2nd PC for maintenence, emergencies, and whatever else.

I guess I should have done some more explaining.
You should log into the computers with the same username. The reason is because there are 2 layers of security. The first layer is the underlying permissions on the filesystem. The second layer is the permissions on the share. The permissions on the filesystem override the share everytime. So in order to write file over the network, you need to give yourself permissions in both spots. The easiest way to do that is to give yourself admin rights on both boxes and log into the machines with the same account name.
Ok, what you need to do is go to the computer where you shared the files and right click on the directory (I'm doing this in XP)
The second tab will sah "sharing" and there'll be a button towards the bottom called "permission"
Make sure the username that is writing files in this tab has write or full control.
The third tab says "security" This is the permissions on the filesystem and the username that is trying to read and write files has access to do so here as well. If you are the only person accessing these machines and they don't have internet access , you can just give everyone full control, but understand that anyone who walks up to the box and do anything in those directories as well
PM or email me if you have any questions

Have you checked the settings inside the router to ensure that it allows the wireless-enabled machines to talk to one another? Some routers by default disallow the wireless machines general network access as a security measure. It'll be called something like "Wireless Isolation".
