USB Drives in network

Hello!

I'm trying to help a friend set up his Mac network. Everything works fine, except two of his USB-drives wont show up on the network when you "connect" to the computer from other computers.

Funny thing is.. one of them does.

The only thing I can think of that would be the reason for this is that the one showing up is using mac FS, whereas the other two are using FAT32 (they have to be usable on a PC as well, from time to time).

So.. anyone have any hints for me what I could look at or if there is a way to get this to work?

cheers

to clarify:

he has three USB drives.
drive one is using mac FS,
drive two and three FAT32.

if he plugs in drive one, it shows up on his local desktop and he can connect to it from other computers (also macs) on the network.

If he plugs in drive two or three, they show up on the local desktop, but not on others computer on the network.

Install on the Mac the System Preference Pane SharePoints to list what file/folder/drive you want to share from that Mac (where the Preference is installed).
