Assuming you can ping each other by IP and name, what do you receive if using net view \\remotepcIP? post back with the system error.

I am trying to set up a small network (4 PCs: 1 ME, 3 XP). They are connected
through a wireless router, i.e., the 3 XP PCs have wireless, the ME PC is
connected through Ethernet. They are alls et up for DHCP with the router
being the DHCP server. the router is also connected to a cable modem. All PCs
have internet access, and I can ping each PC from any of the others. However,
when I try to access shared resources, I receive an error message. (No Path
available or similar). I can't find anything wrong with the setup. What could
be the reason that this doesn't work? All PCs are set to "network client",
and all PCs are member of the same workgroup. In fact, from one PC at least I
can see another PC in the network neighborhood, but I can't access it's
resources, even though they are shared. Any suggestion?
