Ok here's the situation, my friend needs help setting up a home network and I can't seem to figure out how to get the computers to see eachother. He already has a wireless router up and running and all three of his computers are able to connect online but what he wants is for the computers to be able to share documents. File and Print sharing is enabled on all the computers. One computer is connected to the router with a cable, while the other two are connected wirelessly.
Can someone walk me through the steps of setting this up so he can exchange files between the computers?

I just used the Network Setup Wizard in the Control Panel. Most advanced users told me not to, but it worked for me. It was really simple and easy to use.

Ok yea I tried going to the Run prompt and doing "\\[name]" but the computers can't see eachother. Not sure whats up since all the computers are sharing an internet connection but none of them can communicate with eachother.
Yea, they're all in the same workgroup
