Default Multi-OS network help


A step-by-step wuide to how to set up a wireless home network would be great.

Yoda - Master browser computer (wired to the router and dsl modem) running
XP pro
- ip address: 192.168.1.101

Deathstar - desktop running Win 2000 Pro
- ip address: 192.168.1.100

Podracer - laptop running XP Home
- ip address: 192.168.1.102

From Yoda I can see the other two computers in the MSHOME workgroup. I
cannot access anything on either computer from Yoda.

How can I set up a file sharing/printer sharing network for these computers?
All the help I have found on the web so far is concerned only with computers
that are all running the same OS. I have three!

Help!

Hi
Being Wired or Wireless is not important to the issue of Sharing Files on a
network.
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what is allowed
to be shared.
