To share files under 2K you have to have (believe it or not) "File and Printer sharing for Microsoft Networks" installed.
 
Just go into your network settings, click 'add' then 'service' and you'll see it in the list. Make sure your 2K CD/Rip is handy.
 
Also, don't forget to create user accounts so your network clients can login to actually download the files.

File & Printer sharing is installed, but option to share folders and files not available. However printer & internet connections are shareable.
