"My Nework Places" problem

I check the "share file & folder" of folder "A" on computer #1. It shows up
in Computer # 2 in "my network places". Everything is fine so far.
Now I decide to delete that same folder from computer # 2 "my network
places", and I uncheck the "share file" from computer #1. I no longer want
to share it so everything is fine.
The problem is now I decide to share that same folder again using the
same name again but I can't get it to show up in "my network places". Any
suggestions. Thanks much. Sincerely, Bob Levin

Shared folders don't always appear automatically in My Network Places.
Click "Add a network place" and follow the prompts.
