How do I setup file sharing to receive files in my Zorin computer from my two other windows 7 computers?

My two win 7 computers do not "see" Zorin in the network. Yet I can see the two computers FROM zorin.

In Personal File Sharing Preferences dialogue window, it says: This feature cannot be enabled because

the required packages are not installed on your system. ???? what packages??

Hey Thanks Wolfman !
