Is the target computer setup for file sharing, to start?
# Set the Network Location Type to "Private". This implies that your computers
are secure, behind a perimeter firewall or a NAT router, and opens the personal
firewall for file sharing.
# Check / set "Password protected sharing" (PPS). Disabling PPS is the
equivalent of enabling Simple File Sharing, in Windows XP.
# Setup shared folders and printers. If you enabled PPS, you should setup access
for individual users. If you disabled PPS, you setup access for "Guest" or
"Everyone".
And normal Windows Networking details.
# Make sure that NetBT is Enabled consistently.
# Make sure that any third party firewalls are properly setup.
# Make sure that name resolution is consistently setup.
