Default Sharing these things

Hey I have just set up a network (little one) so that I can use my laptop wirelessly.
Im trying to set up file sharing, I have read all the instructions and created a work group.
When I try to access my PCs shared files from my laptop by typing in \\jak (this is the name of it) I get the error shown below:

WHY?? If I do it the other way round, sharing files on my latop I can access them on my pc no probs.
Please Help
