I have PC_1, PC_2, and PC_3

Each one can connect to the router and get online without any problems.

None of the PCs can recognize the other one through the network neighborhood.

What I want to do is share particular folders/files through each PC. Such as my music folder and documents folder.

I ran the XP network wizard on each PC, restarted, and nothing.

I'm kinda new at Networking, but I know I had this working a long time ago with only 2 PCs using XP.
 
I am assuming that all of the machines have Windows XP, make sure that all of them have the same work group.

The way to check that would be to right click on My Computer and then click the Computer name tab.

Then after that is done, it might tell you to restart or whatever, then you will probably need to edit the sharing properties on the folders of whatever it is that you want to share if you already havent done so.

Let me know if you have done all of that stuff.
 
It was a firewall option that turns of file sharing. Weird, didn't know it existed until IBMan mentioned to turn them off.

Thanks guys
