Network Permissions Help

Hello to all.
My office has a peer-peer network mixed with W2K and XP Pro Stations.
We want to share some folders, but want to set access control
permssions.

When browsing Network neighborhood, I can see and access shared
folders from other computers on the network.

Now suppose I want to share a folder on my computer, but with read
only permissions. When I right click on the folder and select "share"
then select "permissions" and the "add",

I try entering in users "\\computer\username" and I get the message,

"Check the selected object types and location for accuracy and ensure
that you typed the object name correctly, or remove this object from
the selection.

If I click on "location", the only selection available is my computer.
I cannot give permissions to any other network users or computers as I
cannot see them to add them.

I am sure the is a setting somewhere that enables me to give network
users specific access control permissions to my folders.

Can anyone help?
