Catching me off guard with that question. Alright.
1) Type services.msc in the Start menu then press Enter. Disable IPHelper service. Disable Homegroup services.
2) See my previous screenshot on how to set sharing properties. http://www.eightforums.com/network-sharing/5417-not-connecting-network-4.html#post81163
(Easiest and best for this, is to make sure all machines have same user name and password.)
3) On all machines, open Windows Explorer. It's different for 7, 8 but if you apply yourself, you'll eventually be able to figure out differences. (Questions are fine if needed.)
On 8: Open ribbon. See Brink's tutorial if needed to do that.
Then View | options | Change folder and search options
When that opens, click View tab. Scroll to bottom and uncheck the box for "Use Sharing Wizard (Recommended)"
Click OK so it saves.
On 7: The process is similar. I'm on 8 at the moment, so can't say precisely.
4) On any machine, go to Windows Explorer (same as "My Computer" or "Computer", where you can see all of your hard drives.)
8: Click "Map network drive" then in the folder box put: \\remotepcname\share name
For example: \\Computer1\sharing1
Note: On the remote computer 1, you have to set the folder or drive you want to share as well, with permissions for Everyone. This is done in Windows Explorer.

Honestly, I am going to stop right here, because although it is simple for me, it is extremely hard to convey with proper meaning. It is complicated, but simple in practice. You just have to know. See what you can do with this and please tell us or ask us anything at all you want!
This is why MS made Homegroup, but if it can not work for you, you're stuck without help.
But we try our best!
