Error accessing wireless shared folder / printer

Hello all,

I have a problem trying to access shared folders & printer on my wireless networking.
Here's my setup:
3Com Wireless Router is wired to a modem router with CAT5. The modem router is running the DHCP.
Clients - 2 laptops (compex iwaveport) and a desktop (compex iwaveport usb) with printer.
All machines can access the internet & emails.
My problem is with file/printer sharing.

The desktop cannot access both the the laptops within My Network places, sometimes I can't even browse the workgroup or see the laptops. When laptop is access I get an error message about network authorisation. Same with the printer.

The 2 laptop's occasionally do not see each other but are able to access each other's share folder when seen. However, both laptops cannot access the desktop at all.

I can ping the modem router, wireless router from all machines, but not the laptops to the desktop.

I have excellent signal strength (machines & router in the same room for the time being)

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give.
