What OS are you using? If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7 open the Control Panel, Network and Internet, Network and Sharing Center, and ensure Network Discovery and File Sharing are turned On. In Vista the Sharing and Discovery Options will be displayed. In Windows 7 you have to select Change advanced sharing settings. It is important to consider security issues, and to assign specific permissions to shared resources.
