Cant access the network drive used by the workgroup who uses the same wireless connection?

There are 5 computers in the office connected to the internet using the same wireless connection point, the main computer has a z drive which the other 4 computers have access to using the office wireless network and all computer work is to be saved to this drive for office access. There is a new desktop which i have connected to the internet using the same wireless connection but when i go to my network places - then entire network - then microsoft windows network, no domain appears so I cant access the network drives or printers.....I also tried another route.. tools - then map network drive and then I typed in the the same info on the other five computer but the computer still couldnt find the network drives they have. I have already typed in the encryption key to get access to the internet and then the network key to connect to the same network but for some reason i still cant access the network drives. Is there a special address or code I need from the main computer maybe?..

make sure they are all on the same domain , you mentioned the workgroup, make sure they are all connected to workgroup and not mshome or vise versa.
