Internet access is available from each computer (although only one actually has access). All computers are on the same workgroup (MSHOME).

Problem: Not all computers see each other (after trying the "view workgroup computers"); when more than 2 are wanting to access files on one, we get the "too many users" error message. Under "Local Network", I see 18 different folders. After getting the above error message, if I go through the "set up a home or small office network" wizard, Individual computers are able to access information, but only until another person tries to access.

Your help is greatly appreciated.
 
Sounds like you've hit the 5-connection limit in XP Home. XP Pro has a
10-connection limit.
