Just to add to Russ's advice, you must also have at least one hard
drive "shared" on the PC you are seeking to 'see.'   You can set up
everything perfect, but if you are not sharing a hard drive on the other
client PC, there is nothing to 'see.'  Once you have entered the properties,
using the My Computer icon on your desktop, you need to share the drive.

I hope this is not too vague...  *wink*
