You are not trying to connect to the users "Shared Folders" are you?
You mean a folder Share, yes?

Start, Run, CMD
net view <----- report back here any error numbers and text
net view \\your_computer_name <---- report back here any error numbers and text
net view \\the_other_computer_name <---- report back here any error numbers and text
