Thanks Tom but again as I said I can ping each computer from any other and , in fact, if I use "search" I can read any computer. They just don't show up in " Network places".
So it can't be "file sharing" nor the computer names. Justdoesn't make any sense to me but I'm sure I'm missing something simple!!!

Hi Bram,

You may not have file sharing enabled on any of the computers. In My Network Places right click for properties. Click Local area Connection then properties for it. In local area connection properties check that you have, Client for Microsoft Networks and File and printer sharing for Microsoft networks available, and enabled, in the This connection uses the following items: list. If they are not on the list you will have to install them. Also be sure that each computer has a unique name. For that you right click on My Computer and then choose properties then the Computer Name tab.
