iPad <-> iTunes w/ Home Share: What am I doing wrong?

I bought my wife an iPad 2 for her birthday this week, and we can't figure out what we're doing wrong when it comes to accessing the music on her laptop via Home Share.

On the laptop, I have Home Share turned on, and have entered our email address and password.

On the iPad, under 'Music' in Settings, I have the email address and password entered.

When I go to the 'Music' app, however, I don't see any sign of the laptop's library - and nothing is catching my eye to click on/toggle/poke/anything.

Do I need my glasses checked, or is Home Sharing just busted?

Edit: Finally got it working. What did it take? turned off then turned on home sharing on the laptop, restarted the laptop, re-entered the sharing credentials on the iPad 3x to make sure they were right, it finally showed up under More->Shared.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED!
