Answer 1

Right click my computer and go to properties. On the computer name tab, change the workgroup. Repeat with every computer on the network.

Each computer must be in the same workgroup. Are all he computers connected?

Well something to consider is whether you have antivirus software such as Norton or McAfee installed on any or all of your computers. Alot of people over look this when trying to figure out connectivity problems. If you do have some sort of security suite you need to configure the firewall settings on each computer to allow whatever the IP addresses are of your computers. Security suites have defaults to allow no other network traffic than what is expected or asked for including traffic from within the network. So you would basically just have to allow the computers to talk to each other.
