Can't access PC on home network

Hi all. Before I go mad can someone please provide me a list of things
that must be config'd on all PCs on a home network? I have a belkin
firewall/router that is the connection to the internet and then 2 pcs
and a laptop. In windows under My Network Places produces a tree with
the domain but nothing beyond that. Gateway addresses point to the
router and the DNS is the ISP's. I have IPX, TCP running too - what
more is there to do please? Oh - running XP Home and Pro editions.

I have a feeling it may be the DNS or WINS config. I don't run WINS
as I do not have a PC that acts as a server. and DNS is external -
again if no server how can I solve internal DNS? Thanks.
