you need to make sure that all machines are configured identically to all other machines in their network properties. that includes network settings and protocols. one of the protocols should be NetBEUI and the other should be TCP/IP. then you need to have Client for MS Networks installed and everyone configured to use the same work group. i don't think there is anything beyond that. the various machines can access other machines only if the person is logged in with the same user id as they use on the other machine.
