What files are you trying to share? I mean what size? |

I think you should have shared a folder instead of sharing the drive. Dont think sharing the drive is a good idea. At times many firewalls will block win file sharing. Both machine should belong to the same workgroup, you will have to use brows entire network icon to see the share. |
