Network Issue - XP Home - Work Groups

[kleinwl]

I have a WRT54-GS router with 3 computers. One of the computers (and HP with XP-Home) is connected physically to the router and an all-in-one printer. Two other computers are wireless. All computers have the same workgroup name.. however only the wireless computers can see each other. When I wire up one of the laptops to the router... it can then see the wired HP and printer... but not the other laptop in the workgroup.

What do I need to do to make all the computers in the same workgroup. I need to be able to share the printer and files between computers.

Thanks!

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 is allowed to be shared.

workgroup has nothing to do with networking...as an fyi.

Use UNC paths to access network resources, i.e. \\computer\share
