Home Network Sharing Problems

I have 4 computers on my home network. The base station
computer can share files and printers with all the
others. The other three can share among those three, but
cannot get access to the base computer. It seem like all
the correct share boxes are checked, and the icon shows up
in the three computers network neighborhoods, but access
to that base computer does not work. Any suggestions?

Make sure that the base station computer doesn't have a firewall
program blocking access by the other computers.

If that doesn't solve the problem, please reply to this message in the
news group (not by E-mail) with more information to help other people
understand the problem.

What version of Windows does the base station computer run? What
exactly happens when you try to access it from the other computers?
What does the error message say?
