Things to check......
Ensure you have TCP/IP installed and configured correctly. IP addresses should be a non-routable (over the internet) number. I prefer the class C as follows
PC #1: 192.168.0.1
PC #2: 192.168.0.2 etc
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: Address of your router/hub or PC # 192.168.0.1
DNS: use the DNS address your ISP uses (call them, they'll tell you what they use)
Ensure that all machines have the same workgroup name. In a small environment I just leave the default "Workgroup" in there. Replication of PC names into the Network Neighbourhood can take a bit of time so if they don't show up immediately don't worry. Try to "Find" a particular PC and see if you can't map a network drive to it that way. If none of this works....let me know we'll look at a few other things.
