go into the control panel - system and maintence - system,

change the name from there the workgroup to MSHOME restart the pc and retry,

should be able to connect after that,

also to connect to it, you use \\ ipaddress of pc connectin to \ shared folder name

Good advice, virtually what I was going to put.
Alternitavly you can download THIS

Overview
This package contains the Link Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) responder. The network map on a computer running Windows Vista shows a graphical view of the computers and devices on your network and how they are connected by using the LLTD protocol. The LLTD responder must be installed on a computer running Windows XP before it can be detected and appear on the network map. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.
