1.  What operating system(s) are on your network?

2.  Computer Browser Service.  If you're looking in "My Network Places", people frequently complain about not seeing the "other" computers and their resources.  This has to do with the "Computer Browser" service.  At least one of the computers on the LAN (the one that's powered "on" most of the time), should have the "Computer Browser" service running.  It will build and maintain a "master" list of the other computers in your workgroup, so when they go to look at "My Network Places" this list can be sent to them without having to build one from scratch for each request.  Not positive, but I believe it will only show computers that have the service for "file and printer sharing" installed.

Look at the following downloadable Microsoft documents (primarily for Windows XP):
    Computer Browsing for SOHO Networks with Microsoft Windows
    Troubleshooting Computer Browsing on SOHO Networks with Microsoft Windows

and these links:
    Why Can't I See My Computer on the Network?
    Microsoft Vista Home Networking Setup and Options
   
3.  Firewalls.  You may have to modify your firewall configuration(s).
