I have 4 computers running, two are Windows 7, and two are XP Pro. If I want to save a file on another PC I can find it except for one that says no access, and when I click just on Network in My Computer just to see the other computers I cannot see all the computers, from my main Windows 7 computer I can see the other Windows 7 computer but neither of the XP computers, any settings I can change?

yes, they are all the same workgroup, if I want to save a document I have the option of saving in any of the four, they all appear under network as working and active computers in the network (everything looks normal and working) when I want to save a document or any other file and hit "save as" everyone is there, but if I go into "my computer" or "computer" in Windows 7 and click on Network some computers are not visible. It's my first time setting a workgroup up so it must be something I overlooked, they all have "sharing" turned on
it throws a curve ball at me when I see I must be a system administrator or logged on as a system administrator, if I need a password then I'm at a loss, this is basic home stuff and these computers just turn on and boot, no password ever given although the two XP computers ask but I hit enter without giving a password (as far as i know I don't have one or know it) and they boot up
