6118 means The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available, mostly it is due to the firewall protection blocks the SMB.

You can check as following steps

  1. first check each pc is in the same workgroup.
  2. disable the firewall and virus protect in each PC.
  3. Ping PC2 from PC1 to ensure the network is ok
  4. net view \PC2 from PC1 to check if it is ok.
