moi Koray,

could be almost any problem.

is one of the machines running a firewall?
if you are trying it at the university, does the uni have a firewall in
place that would block ports?

if one of the IP addresss are something like 192.168.*.* , 10.*.*.*, or
172.16.*.* (these numbers are reserved for internal networks), and another
is of some other type, chances are you will only be able to connect from
the outside network to the inside IP (unless you do some fancy port
forwarding).
