Am i missing a step???

Thanks again.

Check in control panel, network settings. In the properties for the "TCP/IP >> (your network adapter)" look in the bindings tab and see if the client for file/printer sharing and client for microsoft networks is enabled.
Also, as I said before, check to see if your drives (properties) on the required machines are set to be shared as appropriate.

Edit: If you have a firewall then the IP's of each PC much be allowed through in the trusted (local) zone. For diagnostics you might be better to disable the firewall until you can be sure you have the basic problem fixed first without adding to your problems.
