I would like to Completely network 4 computers in my house. My laptop is used wirelessly but can be hard wired and it runs on Windows Vista. The other 3 computers are desktops and are hard wired into a router. Two run on Windows XP and one is on Windows 7. I have tried to network them but have failed. To be honest I don't know what I am doing. So if you don't mind I want to be able to access every file from all computers and I really need to use the printer from each computer.

I tried going through this http://www.geekstogo...erfile-sharing/ but couldn't do it. I have a D-Link router and I use Avast for anti virus and windows fire wall. Could really use some help.

Thanks in advance,
Jennifer
