I was going to suggest building them a fileserver (with the OS of your choice), and migrating them away from a workflow where all the computers need to see each other.
I'd love to, and they are ordering a server to replace one that crashed, but it won't be here for a week and they'd like to avoid using sneakernet for the time being.
So not one Windows Server in that environment and you are connecting multiple computers to one computer by chance? Perhaps you are running into the infamous 16 connection limit on that one computer? That would account for odd behavior like some computers working and others not (i.e. connection limit exceeded). Check the Event Log to be sure.
I would be surprised. Like I said, they only have about 10 computers total, maybe 12, and none of the Windows 7 computers see any of the Windows XP computers (and vice versa) when viewing the network computers.
