Ok, I have a Microsoft wireless router, with three computers hooked up to it. Whenever I try to access the other computers' printers or hard drives nothing comes up. I bring up the Microsoft Broadband Network Utlity, double click the computer I want to access, and then the mouse cursor turns into an hourglass for a little while but nothing happens.

I have sharing turned on, on the other computers.
 
Ok heres is what i would do.
Does every machine have an ip address? 192.168.0.*
Are the firewalls on xp turned off?
if so the best way to connect to another machine is start run \\192.168.0.*
that will connect you to the compuer with out doing name resolution.
give it a try LMK.
