Re: Win8
Open the Network and Sharing Center. On the left side click on Change advanced sharing settings. You probably told Win7 that this is a Work network so click on Home or Work and then select Turn on network discovery and Turn on file and printer sharing. Click on Save changes and you should be able to see it from the other systems and see other systems on the network.
