Media Player 11 - music share networking

I am trying to set up windows media player 11 to read music off another computer on my network. I can find the tab in media player to allow someone to do so but I cannot figure out how to make a request from the other PC.

I can get my Xbox360 to link up with one of the PC's easily and it shows up in the allow/deny list but how do I get another PC to show up in the list???

I'm sure there is something simple I am missing, help me out smart people.

I tried using the Help and it doesn't work. I get to this step and there is no checkbox!!!

2. Click the arrow below the Library tab, and then click Media Sharing.

3. Select the Find media that others are sharing check box, and then click OK.

I found the answer I was looking for. The microsoft website says media player on XP doesn't share with other media players on XP.

This makes it kinda useless.
