Map a network drive?

First get the ip address of the computer with the share folder you wish to access.  
Start - Run - ipconfig (get the ip from there)  
Ex.) 192.168.1.5

Locate the shared folder name  
For now lets pretend the folder is called Share

On the computer trying to access the shared folder open any folder  
Go to Tools - Map Network Drive  
Choose a letter for the drive: Any not used is fine Z:  
Then for the location type for ex.) \192.168.1.5\Share

Click Finish

Then it should pop up the shared folder.  
If not, go to My Computer and it should be there.  
See if that works, if not, somewhere along the network sharing is messed up. Maybe the permissions.
