Ray,
A few more things you should consider:
1. Make sure that all the computers have the same domain name
(Windows calls it a "Workgroup")

2. Check the shares on all of you Windows machines. Make sure that
they have "share this folder on the network" enabled. In Windows XP you can do that by
using Windows Explorer, right mouse clicking on the desired folder and selecting
"Sharing and Security"

3. Open a command window on the W4 boxes and type something like
the following:
NET VIEW \\WINBOX1

where WINBOX1 is the computer name for your first Windows machine. See if you get a
response. If you do, do the same on the commandline for all of your Windows
machines.
