New development!!!

I have all the computers connected to the third Laptop PC with the separate OS so I am convinced at this point that there is an OS issue. It's werid, because I can transfer and browse files no problem from that PC but the two from work do not show up at all on any PC.

Once again all can be pinged using either there IP address or local name but just those two do not show up in My Network Places. This leads me to believe that before I took the PC's from work that they were previously install with some sort of restriction. Or something...sigh, so bothersome.

Any ideas? I'll be cross comparing settings from both PC's. Thanks all.
