In a peer to peer network, any computer can act as a server; and it is
proper to think of it as a server when it is providing a resource to other
computers.

Do all computer have the same workgroup name? If not, a shared resource will
be "not accessible". Do all computes have an IP address in a common segment?
If the gateway is '192.168.10.1', any other device must be in the range from
'192.168.10.2' to '192.168.10.254'; assuming the subnet mask is
'255.255.255.0'. Speaking of which, all must also have the same subnet mask.
Also "Client for Microsoft Networks" and "File and printer sharing for
Microsoft Networks" must be bound to the same protocols on all computers.
Using just the TCP/IP protocol is simplest, but may be a security issue if
you are using ICS. (It shouldn't be, if you do it right; but how many people
actually know how to do it right?)
