I am trying to set up a home network. I have a PC running XP wired into my NETGEAR wireless router and a PC running XP connected wirelessly. Then I have a laptop running Vista. I want to set up a network where I can share files to and from all computers and be able to print to my printer. The printer is connected to the PC that is wired into the router. Plus I want all to connect to the internet. Running the windows network setup has not accomplished all of the tasks. I cannot see any other devices from any computer. Can someone please give me some advice on setting this up. Thanks.

All the PC's/Laptops need to be assigned TCP/IP by the Routers DHCP and secondly all need to be in the same Workgroup, I always use the default MSHOME and thirdly file and print sharing needs to be enabled.
