ok.. i have turned on file/printer sharing on all pcs(2 laptops, 3 desktops),
asigned them to one workgroup name and gave them all unique names. However
only 1 desktop can see and access all files being shared on network. all
others give me an error

"workgroup not accessible. you might not have permission to use this network
resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have
access permissions. network path not found."

I'm using a linksys wireless router for my hub
all are using either WinXP Pro or winxp media center

Look for a misconfigured or overlooked personal firewall, or other security
component. There are several other possibilities too, and any might be the cause
of your problem. Read this article with an open mind.
