As my router is set for DHCP, each machine does not have an assigned IP
address. I'm not sure how to look up "BIOS ADDRESS." I do note that
they are identified on the Network by a rather long odd name, for
example - Ibm-fc0baff6344. I expected to see my machines listed by such
an identifier when seeking to grant them access to specific directories.

What do you mean by "Computer Browser" service. Each machine can
individually access the internet through the router without problem.
All are shown to be members of the same "Network Place."
The machines all have different passwords; must the user passwords be
consistent between machines? There is some overlap in user names, but
that should not cause confusion. I would expect that the Network to be
able to distinguish between "User Dennis on the IBM" from "User Dennis
on the Dell,"
Any insight you could provide would be helpful. Thanks
