Network set up help

[Guest]

Hi.
I have three computers all running XP pro. We have a T1 Connection that runs
into a linksys router and then into my main computer. The other two
computers can get to the internet via the router (one through a wireless
card, the other through an ethernet chord). I'm trying to set up a network
so that those two computers can access a shared folder and printer on the
main computer. I have gone through the step by step of the windows network
set up, but it seems that each computer sets up its own network and can't see
the other. What do I do???

Thanks
