Delete Network, Correction.

My post of earlier today had an error. The corrected version follows.

I have a home network of three computers. One is a desktop with XP. One is a
desktop with ME. The third is a laptop with XP. My cable modem feeds a
router
which feeds an Access Point. The first PC is wired to the router. The other
two use the Access Point via wireless.

I followed all instructions very carefully to set up my network. All PCs can
access the internet. NONE of the PCs can see any other PC in Network Places.
Obviously I have done something wrong.

Is there an way I can delete all of my network entries so that I can start
over with my network setup?

Peter.

Disable the access point's built-in DHCP server, so that all of the
computers use the router's DHCP server. Then reboot them and make
sure that they all have IP addresses in the same subnet.

Disable XP's built-in Internet Connection Firewall on the connection
to the router. If there are any firewall programs installed on any
computers, configure them to allow access on the local area network.
