Error Accessing Wireless Shared Folders & 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.
 
yup the normal right click and share. Tried even switching around with the wireless settings in the windows. Another I have is the laptop wireless devices keep cutting off.
