No share option on libraries

[curtj]

I have windows 7 on 2 machines at home. My workstation is W7 home prem, and the lappy is W7 Enterprise.

Been struggling to share libraries between them, mainly due to what I think is firewall issues (outpost pro on workstation, windows fw on lappy).

I've just noticed that on the lappy I can rmb on a library and get a 'share with' option. But when I do this on my workstation I don't get that option.

Am I doing something wrong?

Make a rightclick directly on the icon.

Yes your icon isn't highlighted in the second picture which may be keeping you from seeing the options list.

Sorry, my mistake. I didn't take the correct screenshot in my haste.

Here's the menu after rmb on one of the icons on my workstation:

Have you looked in the network and sharing center to find the options for sharing your libraries?

Have you tried this other sharing option at the top of the page where it says "share with" then choose "Everyone" ? You will need to check this on both machines.

Have you placed the check marks here in the second window on both machines?

Also check to make sure that your permissions are set correctly on both machines.
