I Hate Windoze!
I had restarted all 3 computers and the changes I made did
NOT show up in network places... but now, today, all of the
folders I added to sharing DO show up
Oh well... it works now as expected, so I guess the oddity
of the network "table" not immediately updating is just an
oddity, and not something I'm going to worry about now
