How can I connect laptop, which has Windows 7 Home Premium installed, to a LAN, which consists of two desktop PC's, both of which having Windows XP installed and have the same Workgroup name?

NOTE: Those two PC's are connected through a wireless router. One PC is connected through LAN cable to that router and the other one is connected via wireless network. That router is also serving as ADSL modem, so both PC's are sharing internet connection.

I've managed to connect laptop to that router via wireless network and I can access internet, but I can't access the LAN between those two PC's. How can I do that?

NOTE 2: Those two XP's are with SP2 and both of them are 32-bit. Win 7 is 64-bit, although I'm sure that it doesn't matter what type is OS (32-bit or 64-bit).

Nevermind! I found where to setup a workgroup in Windows 7. That was all I needed, now the network is working fine.
