Need help....hate to bring the New Year in like this... We've got 3 computers....Computer A is a desktop running XP home that is hard wired to the router and printer. DSL Modem is attached to router. Computer B is a Desktop running XP Media, Wireless connection to network Computer C is a Laptop running XP Home , Wireless connection to network. Computers B and C can see each other, share files and access the Internet. Computer A can see other two computers, share files, print and access Internet. Computers B and C can see computer A but NOT share files or print. We've tried enabling port 445 and we've run the network wizard a billion times but too no avail. I tried to read through Chuck's advice to others but get lost on the browstat info. I'm a novice and need easy to follow assistance.
