  1. Verify all the computers are using the same file sharing model via My Computer > Tools > Folder Options > 'Use simple file sharing'.
  2. Also see local security policy under Control Panel > Administrative Tools for 'Network Access: Sharing and security model for local accounts'. Classic is probably what you want. Otherwise Guest account would need to be enabled and added to share permissions.
  3. Verify the sharing computer has a local user account identical to the one being used to access the share and the share permissions include that account as desired.
