Accessing shared folders on a networked computer

I have networked a desktop (host) to a laptop (client).  Using the Home Networking Wizard, I have set up for sharing of files & folders on both computers.  I then set up the C:\ drive on the host for sharing (by right-clicking on C:\ & selecting "SHARING", etc. When I go to the client computer, I have no access to shared folders or I am missing something!  Please help.

Are you logging on to both pc's with the same account and password? Is there an account on the host that you should be using to access the files on the host. Check the security properties on the share to make sure all is cool.
