The only time I've experienced this problem is when the host file

When you checked the file sharing dialog box are the options on the
right side all correct eg 'All users' and the bottom box 'Don't
display' etc not ticked.
also the file that is to be 'seen' should be displayed on the left
side of that dialog box as a currently opened file.
Yup. All true.
Which is what makes it so puzzling. Every other time I've done it
this way, it's worked without a hitch.
