  This is a bit different, than you what you stated originally, where you said 
the upstairs was up all the time ... if neither machine is up all the time, 
you're reduced to using something like samba as a server on both, where you 
simply browse to the shares you want to use.  The "preferred" way, is to use 
one as a server and have the other share it's resources, thus reducing 
bandwidth and overhead ... using both as servers that may or may not be 
present at any given moment where write/read is attempted, reduces their 
value as desktop workstations and limits your options.
