Ok here is my setup i have 3 computers 1 wired and two wireless the wired one is an XP and one of the wireless ones is an Xp too. but the other wireless is a vista. The two wireless computers cannot see any other computers but the wired one sees all three (including itself) but it cant connect to them? All three are on the same workgroup and the admin account on all three is the same user and pass. i "had" another comp that was wired and the two wired comps worked fine with each other but not with the wireless comps. My router is a Linksys wireless G Version 9.

Any thing would help please...
and thank you..

Ok... i figured out what was causing this... McAfee was blocking port 139 and that is why i couldnt share files between computers. P.s. Anyone know how to allow so i can reinstall the firewall?
