you can also try running the network wizard, there should be an option on sharing files/printers, if not there is something amiss in the network settings. I have run across this many times, and usually it's a simple case of installing the correct 1KB peice of data from the cd, but without seeing the computer it's hard to know what you have/dont' have.
What is listed under:
my network places
*to the left click
network connections
right click "Local Area Connection" -> properties
what is listed in the scroll box, there are a few that are for file sharing, which, if missing are a good place to start.
