merge vertices
look at the normals( which way they are facing)

Just to elaborate on mastone's comment. You must combine the two objects first. You then must merge the vertices together. After that, smooth the normals to get rid of the hard edge. That should fix it up for you.

Did you combine the meshes first? It might not look like the merge is doing anything, but it might actually be working. Display the poly count and see if when you merge your vertices, the poly count goes down.
