Did you actually *create* those shares, or are they the default system shares? The default system shares are not user accessible. If the share NAME has a $ in it, that's a system share. As I said, you may have to create a new share.

To do what you want, you may have to disable simple file sharing and use Win2000-style file sharing.

Folder options, View. Disable simple file sharing.

Write down the username and password that you use to access all 3 machines. Right click on My Computer (all 3 machines) - manage. Local users and groups, users. Add the other 2 users and passwords so you have all 3 users on all 3 machines. Disable the guest accounts.

When it's all correct, you should be able to go into My Network Places, Computers Near Me, and see the other machines.
