Yes all on the same work group. Since I posted this I did some checking around and 
discovered the following command from the DOS prompt. "control userpasswords2" From 
here I discovered I could turn off all password requirements for all users, and set 
the automatic log-in. Also, it seems it's best to bypass the Network Wizard and just 
enable sharing. Apparently the Wizard sets a bunch of security safeguards in place 
by default, which is what I do not want. This seems to have opened up communications 
between two of the machines. I have not tried the others yet, but I think I stumbled 
onto the keys I needed.
Thanks
