I'm trying to get my network up and running and I have 3 computers. 2 running xp pro are wired through my d-link router and are up and working. However, the other computer is running xp home SP2 and is wireless, and I can't get it up. They are have Client for microsoft, file and printer sharing, and tcp/ip installed. From this computer, which is wired to the router, or the other wired computer, I can see the wireless computer entitled "Mom" from my workgroup, but when I go to open it it says not accessible and might not have permissions. When I try to open the work group on the wireless PC, it says the same thing.

Anyone who can help?
 
XP Home is a shocker..

1) setup the administrator account password same in 3 computers and logon to 3 computer with the administrator account.

2) make sure they are in same ip range and subnet mask.
(ex. 192.168.0.1)

3) make sure they are in same workgroup
