It's clear I just don't get networking. [Smile]

I have a 4 port netgear wireless router. The only wireless device I use is my printer. Everything else is network cabled to the router. Currently I have two desktop PCs and a laptop all running WinXPPro. They all specify the same workgroup. They all have shared folders. And friggin' none of them can see each other! It's making me crazy. Up til now it hasn't been a problem, but now I really need to be able to move my files from one machine to another. I'd really rather not burn to CD to do that. It's a waste.

Any ideas what I'm missing? Suggestions for a better way to set this up?
