Hi, I have 2 new PCs in my house that i just got up and running.

I have been having trouble configuring them all to print through the LAN

My main desktop(Not as new as the others) is connected to a linksys wireless router, it is also the computer that my dell printer is connected to.

Then I have the new laptop, running vista home premium, and the desktop running xp with a wireless PCI card.

they are all in the WORKGROUP domain. I know this because The main desktop can see the laptop and the Wireless PC. However, the laptop and the Wireless PC can't see the main PC. This is where i'm stuck. any ideas?

Also I can explore the vista laptop and wireless PC. All computers have their C drive shared. When the 2 new PCs try to go to WORKGROUP through "My network places" it either shows nothing is inside it, or doesn't allow access and says to contact the network administrator.

Thanks
