Shared section does not show up in Finder, cannot see Windows PCs

[J the Ninja]

As in, the entire shared section is missing. It's not collapsed, it isn't even there. I have everything in it's section turned on in view options, but it doesn't actually show up in the Finder Windows. I have the Firewall turned off, but my MacBook Pro cannot see either of the Windows machines, nor can they see my Mac. Help. They can ping each other, but that's it.

Missing Shared

Did you ever find a solution to your missing "shared" in the finder window? I have the same problem.
