Networking accessibility

Guest

I have 3 computers on a network. Two desktops and a laptop. All files on all
computers are shared. The network uses a Linksys WRT54GS router and the
laptop and one desktop is wireless. When I attempt to connect to one
desktop's c drive/Windows folder or Program Files folder I get a \\(computer
name)\c drive\Windows (or Program Files) is not accessible. You might not
have permissions to use the network resources. Contact etc. Access is
denied. I can access the c drive on the laptop that is running Windows Home.
Any help would be appreciated.

When a stranger knocks at your door, will your family let him
in? Obviously not. If it's a known friend, will they let him in?
Probably yes. It's the same with Windows. Unless your current
Windows session runs under an account password that is known
to the machine hosting the share, your won't get in. Make sure
that all machines have the same account names defined, and use
the same passwords.
