Setting up a wireless network

Alrighty well I've had the wireless network set up for quite a while now, but just today I figured I might as well network the computers together over the wireless to get filesharing and such working. I set it up using that Wizard and put all the computers under WORKGROUP. It worked perfectly on the other two computers on the network... but mine doesn't want to connect to the others. It says that WORKGROUP is not accessible when I try and view the workgroup computers in My Network Places and I can't view any of the other computer's shared files. I did set mine up the same exact way as I did the others and I can't figure out why it won't work.

Check to make sure the firewalls on the other PC's are set up to allow access from that PC. I had this problem and found that was the issue. An easy way to troubleshoot it to start with is to disable all firewalls on all PC's and see if they connect. This includes the Windows XP firewall.

Also make sure that you haven't disabled any necessary services. I find I manage to break part of my network whenever I go on a service disabling spree.
