Shared Documents Folder isn't sharing on network

[Guest]

Hi, we have a small business network that is two computers and 1 laptop. We
are set up in a workgroup. Here is my problem:

When I go to my network places, everything in there is showing as networked
except my shared documents folder, and the other computers don't show the
shared documents folder in their network places. Now, on my computer when I
go to the shared documents folder, it shows that it is sharing, and all the
sharing is enabled....but it's just not crossing over.

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks,
Cara

Cara,

A little more detail might help here. What operating system (XP? XP Home or
Pro? If Pro, are you using Simple File Sharing?).

Check for misconfigured or overlooked firewalls.

Check registry setting restrictanonymous.

If that doesn't help, post output from "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all",
from each computer. Follow instructions in this article and linked articles.
