Go to Control Panel>Network Connections, right click on the connection you use to access the other computers on your network, go to Properties.

First make sure "Don't allow exceptions" is not checked. If it is, uncheck it.

Then go to the Advanced tab, click the Settings button then the Exceptions tab and check "File and Printer sharing." Click on OK as many times as it takes to close all those windows.

That should do it.
