Macbook can not open Vista over network

Question

Maybe more detail will help.
I run vmware and it runs VISTA X64 on my imac (desktop
computer)
It works fine.
Now a purchased a macbook (Laptop computer).
Using the laptop, I can wirelessly see my hard drive on the
imac.
The wireless network is using NETGEAR router.
So I click on VMware Fusion icon on my laptop (that is
looking at
the
hard drive of my imac) VMware starts but then gives me this
error.
"Not found: WIndows Vista X64 Edition.vmdk"
I opened FINDER on my imac and checked "Shared" on
everything...
On my laptop, using finder, I can see all the window apps
(example
Movie player app)
I didn't move anything - So I'm not sure why I can open Vista
using
VMware on my imac and it can't find Vista using my laptop.
I hope this helps explain my problem.

Try the following steps, which has helped other users find shared printers. This has been copied from Apple Support Article: HT2275
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard uses Bonjour to locate shared printers on your local network, but it does not display printers shared by Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.3.9 which are broadcast to the network using the "cups" protocol. The steps below will allow Mac OS X 10.5 to locate shared printers which are being announced to the network using the "cups" protocol:
1. Open Terminal (located in /Applications/Utilities).
2. Type or paste this command, followed by Return:
cupsctl BrowseProtocols='"cups dnssd"'
The next time you add a printer, you should see printers shared by Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.3.9. These printers will display "Shared Printer" in the Kind column. You may see printers shared by Mac OS X 10.4 or later appearing twice (once as a "Bonjour Shared" printer and once as a "Shared Printer") after completing these steps.
To revert back to the default behavior in Mac OS X 10.5, you can remove "BrowseProtocols dnssd cups" from the CUPS configuration file, or reset the printing system.
