I would like to share my external hard drive with other computers on my

I'm sorry, but there's no way to control access based on computer
names.

If your computer has Windows XP Professional, you can disable simple
file sharing and control access based on user names. This web page
has details:

To limit other computers' use of the external hard drive, create a
folder of the desired size, and share only that folder. Don't share
the entire drive.
