Laptop will not connect to workgroup

I have set up a small network at home using one wired computerto a Hub, and
one with a wireless connection. They work fine. Now I bought a lapttop and
I can't get connected to the other machines. From the two other machines, I
can see the laptop, but I cant access it. From the laptop I can't even see
thr laptop itself? " I mean see, as when one goes into My network Places,
one can see the icon of the computer one is working on" I've run the wizard
a couple of times, but it just doesn't work. I've had this same problem with
another laptop, but I can't remember what I did to fix the problem. All
three machines are using Windoes XP Home with SP 2 installed.

Thanks,
Nic

Hi
I am not sure how your Network is connected (Wireless Source? How the Internet gets
in?).

Jack,
I have a router which is connected to the internet, and all three machines
access the internet perfectly. To get a more detailed explanation of my
problem, I just saw that a person posted Help!!! can't get 2 pc'2 wireless on
the discussion, right over mine. He has exactly the same problem I have.

Thanks for your time and efforts,
Nic
