Networking three computers (workgroup)

Posted: 08-17-2003, 07:14 AM
I just hooked up a linksys router to two desktop computers
and a wireless link to my laptop. The router connects to
the cable modem and all three computers have internet
access.

I tried the two options that seemed to be correct( During
the process I selected other and on the next page I
selected the first option that they all run through a hub,
then a modem) to link them as a workgroup using the
wizard. I can see the the other computers but can not
access their files or printer. I have allowed sharing in
the process but it still denies access to the other
computers. On one computer it can be seen by the other two
but cant see them.

Help is needed as I am about to start up smoking again at
this point. Anyone have a suggestion?

WOW!!!! Look at Sean's question at 6:41am 16AUG03. My
problem was the firewall on each computer. Thanks to Steve
and Robert for their replys. It got me in the right
direction and was the correct answer. I will definitly use
this site again. Thanks to all who helped.
