Right. I think I know how to induce fairly decent behaviour in the Windows Networking feature of the Eee.
1) Boot up in Easy mode.
2) Connect to the wireless by choosing the Network icon [not the wireless icon] and choosing 'connection/connect' for the previously-configured wireless network.
3) Switch to Full Desktop.
4) Start up Firefox. (This may convince the machine that it really has a network connection.)
5) Start up the File Manager.
6) Surf the web for a few minutes while the computers on the network notice each other.
7)Profit Browse the shared folders on the other computers. Log in to password-protected shares if necessary. (If it's working properly, only folders with something funny about their permissions should give trouble on non-password-protected shares.)
Of course, WN being what it is, tomorrow this may not work at all, but it seems to be working tonight.
