You'll need to reboot bother systems after setup. Once complete, select My Network Places from the desktop. On the left hand side, select View workgroup computers . You should now see both computers listed under the names you created, or left to default. Remember how to get to this location, because it is where you access any network folders/files.

In order to begin sharing, you can right click on any folder and click Sharing and Security... Under Network Sharing and Security, select Share this folder on the network >> You can keep the default folder name or change it. >> click Apply >> click Ok

If you have any questions, please let us know.
