Default VISTA TO ITSELF FILE SHARING PROBLEM

When I get done with the file sharing setup screens on Vista and click on the
shared folder I can't even access it from the host computer!!!! (Unless I
manually browse through the C:\ drive.) Let me simplify if I type
//IBMUSER-PC/sharename
I can't get to it. Only by typing c:\Sharedname can I get to the folder
from the host computer.

THIS WAS WORKING just a few days ago so something switched b/c my old
shortcut no longer works.

Oh, how I regret the day I agreed to try Vista. Never again, MS. Never
again.
