Karl,

You have to have the Guest account enabled if you're going to share files. It's
that simple.

If you're not a limited user, you have the ability to setup new accounts. And,
if Guest is not present on the computer, you have to set it up. If it is
present, you have to enable it.

The answers are in the document.

Cheers,
