I don't entirely understand your problem. Would you mind elaborating?

Have you enabled file sharing on the drive? Is the firewall blocking it?
A good test would be to see if you can access the share from the local machine:

Go to Start>Run, and then enter \\computername\ sharename
and click OK.

You may need to use the administrative shares to access the drives if you haven't specifically shared them. You would do this by entering the drive letter followed by a $ as the sharename:
\\computername\ d$

Try downloading updated drivers from the hardware vendor. For instance, if it is a Western Digital USB Hard Drive, try searching on Western Digital's website for drivers.
