Is file and printer sharing enabled? Have you shared any folders? Did you set it up with the same workgroup name?

What OS does it have?

what type of network are you running? with windows xp you may have to add permissions to eeach shared folder. try right clicking the folder and going to sharing/properties, there should be a list of permissions there to add a user and or a group. the easiest thing is to put all the computers into a group and then whenever you share a foldeer for the public use of the computers add that group to teh shared list.

Bollocks... Right click on a computer thats working on My Computer, click Properties > Computer Name...

Under the domains tab, see what your domain is called...

On the new computer right click on My Computer > Properties > Computer name...

Add the domain there... restart... should be all groovy, if its not smash something...
