Since you've changed computer names, I recommend starting over with
file sharing. On each computer:

1. Un-share all disks and folders. For a list of all shared disks and
folders, type "compmgmt.msc" in the Start | Run box, click Shared
Folders, and click Shares. Ignore any with "$" at the end of their
names.

2. Open My Network Places and delete everything in that folder.

3. Re-share the desired disks and folders.

4. Create desired shortcuts in My Network Places.

To access the other computer even if it doesn't appear in My Network
Places, type its name in the Start | Run box in this format:

\\computer
