Can you ping between machines? Or do you mean you can't see them in the 'Network Neighborhood'? Check out each system's IP and try pinging if you haven't yet. Just type in 'ipconfig /all' at the cmd line to view the IP. If you can do that and hit each other then it definitely may be what Warren suggests! You can also try 'net view' at the cmd line and see what that brings up.

I think that's all that is needed.
