Brad,
Make sure you have added the file and printer sharing for Microsoft
Networks "service" in each computer. Under the network icon in the
control panel click Add then service. Then you must share the drives you
want to look at. Click on my computer, right click on the drive you want
to share, click on sharing and give the drive a lable and click OK.
