No, Ed, you're right. Neither of your computer's IP addresses are listed in your ISP's DNS tables. They ARE owever listed in your home network.
Your 192.168.1.XXX address indicates you're running a private home network. For whatever reason, the one computer is unable to resolve the name to the IP address of the other. windows uses DNS to resolve these.
Try setting the IP addresses of each machine to be static, not using DHCP. While you're there, add the IP address of your router to the DNS Advanced settings in each computer. Chances are the IP address is 192.168.1.1.
