Was it present before U followed my steps?  So, when U click on it, it's
empty?

Tell me the IP addresses of your router and your machines.  Are you
running a firewall on any of the machines?

If you've got nmap installed, and suppose your Windoze IP is
192.168.1.5, open a terminal window and type:

sudo nmap -sT 192.168.1.5 -p 139

What's the result?
