Once you connect your all computers with each other then you will have to configure it manually in case of any errors. To do this you have to click (right) on the Network Neighborhood icon located on the desktop and go to properties. If this icon is not present is that the option was not selected during installation of Windows. To fix this, you must go to the Control Panel and double click on the Add / Remove Programs and select the Windows Setup tab.

If you want to activate File Sharing in your network then Sharing files and printers, and confirm the option Allow other users to use my files, and if you have a printer on the network must also validate the option to allow other users to use my printer. This can be accessed by right clicking on the icon and then choosing properties. You can see a sharing tab there.
