If the other PC isn't connected through a Windows 7 HomeGroup, you can browse through the Network tab a little lower on the left pane to find it.

Share Files Between Mac OS X and Windows 7

An OS X Mac can share or retrieve files with Windows 7, although it takes a couple of extra steps. Here's how to share from OS X. Open the Network System Preference, click your network connection on the left pane, and press Advanced.

Click the WINS tab, type your Windows 7 PC's workgroup name, and click OK. Click Apply.
