External Harddrive sharing

I have just perchased an external harddrive. I am trying to share this
between my 3 computers. When i go the the drive, right click and go to
share, the share button is greyed out. I go to the advanced sharing and
click share this folder - when i go apply i get the following error:
An error occured while trying to share g. There are no more end points
available from the endpoint mapper.
I have tried everything in that folder (permissions, etc) and nothing works.
Does anyone have any ideas?????
