Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings, http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is allowed to be shared.

Basically, if you have a router that has wireless output capabilities, you shouldnt have a problem.

Sounds like you are having sharing problems.

You may want to check things like your firewall or any programs that may limit your computers "seeing" one another.

Otherwise, you may want to login to your router and mess with some of the settings on there.

Looks like Jackmds /\/\ laid out everything quite nicely for you. .
