if you leave all the computers on long enough for one to become the "master
browser" 10-15 min , they may just start showing up
(I'm assuming all the drives are "shared")
you can certainly map them if you want (and would probably be easier than
accessing thru network neighbourhood each time)
also you may want to try tip#1 on this page (it won't hurt anything) it may
help (it is for ME but still applies)
