Okay, so wee have 3 computers at our house wee want connected on a network:

A: Main computer, desktop, wired internet.
B: Secondary computer, desktop, wired internet
C: Secondary computer, laptop, wireless internet.

What wee want to do is make sure all of the computers can access each others files in the shared documents folder. Here's what happens.

A: Can access it's own shared docs. Only sees its own shared docs When it searches for computers, it sees itself and C.
B: Can access its own shared docs. When searches for computers, only sees itself. Can not access A's shared docs, but does see them.
C: Does not have shared docs. Can access A's shared docs, but can't see B.

How can wee get them all on the network?

Buy 3 macs.

Be reasonable.
Right now I need to add 'B' to the network. How do I add a computer to a network in XP?

exactly what i was gonna write

from comp A, in 'my network places' under 'tools' hit 'map network drive' and then browse for comp B, i think that may do it

NOTE: XP Home & Pro fucking HATE each other and may just refuse to talk to each other.

I ran the wizard on A and B, but still not showing up. Do I need to restart or something?

And B is Media Centre Edition, A is home edition.
