Hi
File sharing has to be On on the other computer.
Only if someone tries to get files from your computer it has to be On on
yours.
The error message that you get means that there is something basic wrong
with your computer connecting to the Network.
Since there is No info about the Network and the way it is configured there
is No way to help you.
If it is a business network you should discuss it with the person in charge
of the network.
