Hello CrzyBoy777,
We understand that you don't see the media sharing option when trying to set it up through these settings: Set up media sharing on Mac
Is the account that you're using an administrator account? Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac
Also, has this worked in the past or was this the first time that you were trying to use it?
Thanks!
Try the instructions from iTunes for Mojave: Import media using Home Sharing in iTunes on Mac - Apple Support. They will be closer to those that apply to High Sierra.

Home Sharing works when both source and destination device are active and on the same network. For Mojave and earlier iTunes needs to be running. (In Catalina and later shared libraries are still available when Music is closed.) You can use Home Sharing between computers on your network to both play and copy from one library to another. iOS devices can play from a home shared library, but you cannot copy content to the device, you would need to sync from the library to copy the files such that they can be played when you're away from your network.

Are the networks bridged together so that devices connected to one can see those on the other? The point I'm making is that while I have Home Sharing enabled in my iTunes and Music libraries I can only access these when I am at home, not when I am elsewhere not connected to my network, such as at work.

the account I am using is a standard. I am trying it for the first time.
OH MY GOSH THANK YOU SO MUCH IT WORKED!!!!!
except... does the computer have to be up and running for it to work or can I download it to my iPhone?
you sure its on the same network? I have 2 wifi networks and it still works when I switch.
