Hi there,
a lock usually means that the connection has firewall enabled.
Right-click on it, go to Properties, Advanced tab, Settings, and turn off your firewall.
Your other option is to allow an exception for file and print sharing. I think the firewall is blocking your local LAN access.

...that you're local Windows Firewall is on. Assuming this is Windows you are using. And if this is a home network, PC's have a habit of not showing up in My Network Places. Right click on your network icon, go to properties, then Advanced, Then the Settings button under Windows Firewall. You can then turn the firwall off.
If you have a direct connection to the internet this is not advised. If you have a hardware firewall anyway then it doesn't really matter.
