    Hey. I've created a shared network before and it worked but for some reason this time everything is not working. I create a network through the "Network Setup Wizard" and my brother can not see my shared folders or printer. Am I missing something?

    Are you using any firewall?
    Try to access by ip address instead of computer name

    OH! It worked. LOL I have no idea why, but it just all of a sudden worked. Thanks for the suggestions.

    Glad you "fixed" it. Check the firewall (if you have any) for future references ;)
