You really need to learn how Windows networking works. I suggest Googling for "Windows networking basics".

The very basic overview:

First, each machine has its own account database that is the only database it will trust, except if all the machines involved are added to an Active Directory Domain. Then it's the domain controller that maintains the account database and all the members of the domain trust only that database. Remote machines have to use an account and password that exists in the account database.

Next, you need to setup a share on the machine that is hosting the files you want access to. Create a folder and right click it, click Properties, then click the Sharing tab. There's two different levels of Sharing, so what you do will depend on what you're doing. The share is going to need a name (don't use spaces in it) and a level of access at a minimum. Put the files you want to share in the folder.

Lastly, on the remote machine, you can simply do a Start -> Run -> \\serverName or IP\shareName to see the files in the share.
