I created a home network between two of my home computers. If I go to my network places and click the 'view workgroup computers' i can see both the computers in the network.

However when I right click a folder on one computer and set it to allow for sharing; it does not show up on the other computer under My network places.

And yes when I setup the home network i set it to allow for printer and file sharing.
 
When you look for the shared folder are you navigating via Entire Network > other pc > folder?

Have you rebooted after sharing the folder?

Assuming XP on both pc's, have you run the network wizard on both?

Yes i run the network wizard on all of them. And to browse for the network folders I click "My network places" under my computer in the left-hand tab.
