Network sharing

Something I last set up on Window for Workgroups many years ago and simply have forgotten how to do. I have tried Googling with little meaningful results.

My internal network has a few PCs on it and I would like to share specfic directories on each PC across it. In WFWG is was pretty straightforward but on a combination of XP & W7 I cannot get it to work.

My PCs have names (sad I know) and I would like to be able to connect without remembering IP adds. Eventually I will get a NAS and use that for the central hub I can access over my VPN outside the LAN.

I am sure it can be done but it's far from obvious to me.

Any help appreciated.

TIA
