Sounds like you haven't yet created any Shares on the 'remote' machine (and/or, you haven't configured any security for the Shares), so your remote PC is 'visible' on the LAN, but not 'internally reachable' (you can't see any of its folders or files, because you haven't configured which ones should be accessible, and 'to which user account'). If you double-click on the remote machine in the network section of Windows Explorer and don't get a list of shared resources (you get an error instead), this is probably why. You need to set up Sharing and Security on the machine you hope to read/write over the network (so you can manually read/write/delete files on it remotely before trying to automate that using SB)
This old article has some details how to do so for a couple of versions of Windows, but if they don't match yours, there are plenty of other how-to-network-Windows resources on the web Bear in mind this is a Windows issue till you get networking set up so that it works manually.
Note: the KB article I linked to mentions Touch, which is a very handy alternative to the above & sidesteps a lot of the work involved (you don't need to set up sharing, and Touch avoids most Access Denied issues by running under the local SYSTEM account). However, Touch does not work with SB Free (or Lite), only with SE or Pro. You get 2 free Touch installs with a single SE or Pro license, and obviously other benefits accrue with the commercial versions also.
