The problem is now solved.

To make a long story short: I uncommented the interfaces = and hosts 
allow lines in smb.conf. I specified the named interfaces on each of two 
computers, and the localhost (127.) and "down number" (192.168.) sources 
for allowed hosts.

Then I started smbd and nmbd.

And now each machine can share files to the other.

This brings up a different problem, which I will mention on a new thread.
