Now just drag and drop files.... PS any folder you want to share just repeat... I went about it the manual long way at first.... but the easy way was to just use the advanced sharing tab.... my mistake.

ok after a lot of messing about i have everything the way i want it, it seems i need to go into sharing and add 'everyone' and then go into the security tab > edit > add > create everyone > then give them full control. doing these 2 things to each folder gave me full access to them thru the network and i have disabled the homegroup feature. many thanks for your help mate. ;) :D

Make sure your network 'type' is set to Home Network (7) or Private (Vista)

Having it set as public will cause all sorts of issues for file sharing
