Good, now post the same "ipconfig /all" from a PC that can't see yours.

What I'm expecting is that there won't be a networking issue, but it
needs to be ruled out because everything that comes later depends on
that part to be working.

If I had to guess, I'd say it's a firewall issue, but that's just a wild
guess.

While you're at it, that ping test you did earlier, let's go back to
that. Try the ping from PC A to PC B, then from PC B to PC A. If it
works in one direction but not the other, it's almost certainly a
firewall issue, assuming the network (specifically the netmask) is
configured correctly.
