Well, I assume you have one of your Xbee is connected to the computer using a breakout and FTDI 232. something like this or this. (many other company are making the similar ones) The other one has something like this and Rx and Tx (in the case of sparkfun Din and Dout) are connected to each other/ which means that whatever will be send will be received too.
Make sure you have download X-CTU from digi website.
Run the program and you have to connect the serial port which is connected to FTDI, when I tried the name was "COME XX". now you can go to the terminal tab and see if you get whatever you type in red or not, if you do that means everything is working, if you don't then click on modem configuration and click on read. If it asked to reset your Xbee, connect pin 5 of Xbee to pin 10. After that write the original version of your Xbee on it. Try the same thing with the other Xbee. Try again and you should be fine, if not just ask me. I am not that used to Xbee myself yet but I guess now you can be happy that your Xbees work fine. You may go to range test tap and play around with it.
