Mac Net dummy Q's

I don't know if Chris is available on weekends,
so I'm asking it here:
How do you share resourses on AppleTalk?
I'm getting positive results, but still no remote
drives are visible.

The following was done on both connected systems:

  The serial/minidin ports were daisy-chained
  with a cord (?SuperUSER?) supplied by Chris.

  Desktop
   +- Apple
       +- Control Panel
           +- Sharing Setup
                ('Start' was selected, reboot)
  Desktop
   +- File menu
       +- Sharing...
           +- Share this Disk
               (Done to the active drive)

Now, where is the remote drive
supposed to show up on the local system?

  Desktop
   +- Apple
       +- Control Panel
           +- File Sharing Monitor
               (nothing was shown)
  Desktop
   +- Apple
       +- Chooser
           +- Appletalk
               +- Servers
                   (none were shown)

Can I cross-connect two systems' drives
or do things have to go master-slave?
