Sharing permissions

i wish to share a folder on my laptop with specific users of my desktop, both have xp and are connected via a modem/router.
i disable simplesharing and go to the sharing/security tab for the folder, however when i try to change the permissions i cannot change the location, it just says the laptop and doesnt give me the option of adding the home desktop/
please help

Re: Sharing permissions

It can be very confusing. Go here..

The biggest thing is to make sure all pcs on the network are
named the same, I use workgroup. Once that is done its very
simple, just right click the folder and go to share, and follow the
prompts.
