I'm probably making a really basic mistake but I can't see it .

I have a dell desktop with the dell printer attached with a belkin adsl
modem/router,
a dell laptop,
and a HP laptop running on my computer. All run on Windows XP Home Edition.

The wireless network works just fine apart from the fact that I've never
been able to get the file and printer sharing going. I've used the wizard on
each and I've also tried with the disk. The printer says its shared on the
desktop but none of the other computers see it. if I try to view computers
on the workgroup on any of the PC's it says that 'the list fo servers for
this workgroup is not currently available' and that 'mshome' is not
accessable'.

Any ideas would be great!

Thanks

You first need to make sure all of the PCs are in the same Workgroup, and
that File and Printer Sharing is enabled in all of them.
