Thomas,

File sharing in Windows XP is a lot of fun, especially with wireless computers,
and XP Home / Pro mixed. Please start by reading this article:
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/file-sharing-under-windows-xp.html>

Also, if you wish, provide "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from all 3
computers, and we'll diagnose any network problems. Read this article for
instructions:
