1. Make sure each computer has at least one shared folder. 2. Make sure all the machines have the same protocols enabled in Network Properties. Presumably you are using TCP/IP. Also you might try adding NWLink Net Bios, or another protocol which allows communication with the older machines. 3. Be sure the network addresses of all the machines are similar (NOT the same), and the subnet mask should be the same on all. 4. Give each machine the same Workgroup name in Network Properties/ Identification. ...... I hope that helps. Networking is a whole industry in itself and you could research this ad infinitum.
