another post of mine was wondering how i could share pics and stuff with other computers and normally i can enter //"username" and i have access to all the files that are shared files but recently i cant access all of them...at least from another computer....so do i have to re share folders?

What Operating Systems are on each machine. Anything can cause files not to be shared between 2 pc's that were previously ok.

Check to make sure network discovery and file sharing is enabled in network and sharing center.
Setup a homegroup if possible.
Verify that each computer is using the same workgroup name.

How are these machines attached to the network? Connected to the same router?

That should be \\computername

You can also specify an IP address in there instead, do you see anything happen when using either of those approaches?
