How do you want them to react? I mean, I suppose I can figure how to help you if you tell me want you expect to have as a "network"

Open "Network Properties" (right click on network neighbourhood).
Now it's complex (*translates the technical terms on the fly*)
Tab "Configuration":
Click "Add"
In client, install "Micorsoft Win network client" and "Individual sessions..."
In protocol, get TCP/IP, NetBEUI and IPX/SPX (in Microsoft)
In services, get "File and printer sharing for Microsoft networks".
Then in "main session..." stuff, choose "Windows opening session".
The second tab, "Identification", allows to name your comps and workgroup.
Do the same on both comps. Reboot.
And then there is Death

Make sure to check in "Printer and file sharing" "allow other users to access my files"
And then there is Death

It was the cable.
Get this, though: I got it set up so that both Navi and Toshiharu would appear in Network Neighborhood and "My Network Places" (on the laptop), and mapped all 3 of my 'doze drives on Navi to Toshiharu and vice versa. I decided to disconnect them and clear the "reconnect at login" option because it was looking for the buggers even when I didn't have the network cable plugged in, and then Navi disappeared from Toshiharu's "My Network Places", but both machines appeared in Network Neighborhood" on Navi.
I could still manually access files on my desktop from my laptop by using \\navi\\balthasar, \\navi\gaspar, and \\navi\melchior, and I could still map Navi's drives to Toshiharu, but Navi wouldn't show up in "My Network Places."
Then, for no apparent reason, the problem went away.

Yes, I've noticed that windows file sharing tends to be shaky at best. When first getting it hooked up right, it refuses to work, or has odd problems like you described. Then suddenly, it fixes itself and you never have problems again, at least until you unplug the cable for whatever reason. Then sometimes, the problems come up again. It's very odd.
Usually, to fix those problems I just shut down all the involved computers and turn them on again at the same time. Usually it works, sometimes it doesn't. *shrug*

It's not so much that they load windows/linux up at the same time. I just like the network cards to start doing what they do before the drivers take over. On a side note, I don't think I've ever had a problem accessing Windows network shares with Linux, so I blame Windows.
