I got to "Setting up the PC to share files" in the "GUIDE: Networking Windows with OS X" thread. I check the "Share this folder on network" box and click apply. An error comes up that says:

"<Sharing>
An error occurred while trying to share mac. The Server service is not started.

The shared resource was not created at this time."

Any ideas on what to do? I followed every step up to that point to a T.
 
I just went through with "Accessing your Mac from your PC" and it worked fine. So the problem isn't the connection between the 2 computers. It's just getting windows to allow me to connect. Anyone have any suggestions?
