Network Info:

Cable modem -> Wireless router
Windows XP Home PC (jedi) plugged into wireless router w/ RJ-45 cable
Windows XP Home Laptop (padawan) connects wirelessly
Windows 2003 Server (genesis) plugged into a Wireless Access Point to access the network wirelessly
Windows XP Pro PC (lucifer) plugged into a hub connected to genesis (2003 Server)
Windows XP Pro PC (gumu) plugged into the hub connected to genesis (2003 Server)

All PCs can access the internet just fine for all applications. Wireless router has a basic firewall.

PROBLEM: jedi and padawan cannot access shared resources (or even ping) lucifer or gumu (pc's behind the 2003 Server)

lucifer and gumu can access shared resources on padawan and jedi

QUESTION: How can I configure the Windows Server 2003 to let the local computers into the PCs behind it?

Thanks,
Llamaman
 
Make sure that all pc's firewalls are off, what is doing DHCP...could also be a DNS issue.
 
All PC firewalls are off. The wireless router is doing DHCP. I think the 2003 Server also does DHCP for that sub-net. (Not sure if I'm using the correct terminology--this is not my realm of expertise.)
