XP Computers won't talk to each other nor file share

I have 4 computers,
3 laptops:
Me,(192.168.1.109)
Kristi (192.168.1.106),
Family (192.168.1.103)

1 entertainment center
1 desktop:

Basement (192.168.15.2)
--- with attached prtiner that I have made shared.
-- is hardwired into the Linksys router.
-- can get internet access on all computers, wired, or wireless.


I want to share files, remote login, and be able to print from any
laptop.


I can remote desktop between the three laptops, with some difficulty
(I think one system needs to have some setting reset, but can't find
it).. and the entertainment center.

The desktop is a different story.... I cannot see any other laptops
on the desktop.

All DNS servers point to the same address.
All computers can access the router, and get internet. The WIFI
router is hardwared into the desktop.
No computers can share information between each other...Meaning, I
cannot see Basement, nor can I see either of the other laptops. (from
Me)
No laptops can access the shared printer on Basement.
All IP's and DNS addreesses are obtained automatically. (from the
desktop-- this surprised me a bit).
Firewall protection on Basement is disabled.
I have tried to "create a home network", on Basement and both laptops.

The Linksys router shows only 192.168.1.x addresses, no sign of
192.168.15.2. In fact, I cannot find any indicator on how the
192.168.15.2 address is deduced.

What do I need to do to get the computers to all show up on the
network?
What can I do to change the IP settings of Basement, so that they're
all on the "same channel"?
Anything else I can try to make this setup work?
