Help! My computer is blind!

Trying to get my three computers to network wirelessly so I can share a printer. All three (1 desktop PC, one Dell laptop, and a MacBook Pro) connect to the internet with no problem. The MacBook can see the Dell and vice versa. The Mac can see the desktop, but not connect to it to share files. The Dell can see the desktop, but not connect to it to share files. The desktop can see neither.

If I try to access the desktop's files from the Dell, I get "the network path was not found." If I try to access the desktop from the MacBook I get error -43. If I try to even access my network from the desktop, it tells me something like "Nameofcomputer cannot access Network because the list of servers is currently not available."

Disabling firewalls has not helped.
Arrrrrrgh!

Which OS are you running on the desktop and laptop? If you are running Windows XP you might need to add the user name to the computer that is being shared. Also, you should make sure that all your computers are in the same workgroup.
