    Hi, I hope this is the correct forum for this post, if not, please let me know!

    I am attempting to get file and print sharing to work across my home network. The computers connected are:
    2 desktop computers running Windows XP Home edition, connected wirelessly
    1 laptop computer running Windows XP Pro, connected wirelessly
    2 macs, running OS-X, connected wirelessly, one acts as print server

    I have a linksys router wireless-G, and Comcast cable internet

    As of now, the macs can share files and print
    the XP-Pro laptop can access files on both macs
    we can see one of the desktop computers (blackdell) from the macs, but cannot log into it.

    I know the IP addresses of each computer, and the name as given on ipconfig. And I've selected documents folders to share.

    I cannot figure out where to go next. Any suggestons or hints would be gratefully appreciated.

    Alisen
