Yes. You can usually see computers and other devices on your network in the Network Places on your computer.

Hello, as long as the computers have the right permissions and are configured to share data, the data should be available to be access by computers in your network.

If the machines are running Windows 7 and the Home Network option was selected when it first detected a network connection, by default the computers will be discoverable on the network and the sharing of anything in the Public folders as well as media in the Music library will be visible to all other Win7 machines on the network. It is entirely possible that machines running Vista and XP will also see these, but their resources may or may not show up on the network.My machines running Linux with Samba can also see these Win7 resources and I didn't have to manually configure anything for it.

Can they? Yes.However it's usually not automatic, unless a computer has been made fully discoverable and the user has chosen to share its data to anyone on the network.
