Carey,

Thanks for responding. Actually, I did everything that was on your website.
 The one thing I didn't do, that I just did, was to uninstall a software
firewall that came with the computer. Since I did the unistallation and
re-booted, I can now see the shared folders but I can't access them. The
folders are also saying that I might not have permission to access them and
check with the admin. I checked the folders and the file shareing is turned
on for each folder. Any ideas???
