iTunes sharing & Windows 7

    I've recently installed Windows 7 on my PC, laptop and netbook but am having a few issues with iTunes on the netbook.

    I have signed into the same iTunes account on all 3 computers, and if I open iTunes on the PC or laptop it will pick up the other computers iTunes in the 'sharing' menu on the lefthand side of iTunes. All three are on the 'home sharing' setting on iTunes.
    However, neither the PC or laptop can see the netbook and it can't see either the PC or laptop.

    I've 'look for shared libraries' ticked in the sharing preferences of all 3. I tried temporarily turning off the firewall on the netbook and restarting iTunes then but no joy.

    I also tried 'share my library on local network' on the netbook and that does give me the ability to see the music from the pc/laptop on the netbook but I can't copy music that way so would prefer to be able to see the pc & laptop under the sharing menu on the netbook.

    Not too sure what else I can try or how to try fix this. Anyone any ideas or suggestions?

    Make sure that Bonjour is not blocked by the firewall on each computer.

    Just checked and Bonjour is ticked on all the computers in the home/work(private) box.....
    The public box isn't ticked though - should it be?

    If not, any other suggestions out there ?
