Unable to see machines on the ethernet; Unable to find printers

My question deals with setting up my new laptop with the built-in wireless
adapter. I have the following setup:
O/S is Win XP Home SP2 on two machines
O/S is Win 98 2nd Ed on one machine
MN-700 wireless router and remote
IntelPRO/2200 Internal adapter on my DELL Inspiron 9300
Problems: I cannot see the other two machines on my ehternet; i cannot find
my printer on two machines; My DELL tells me I am connected to the internet
and my home network yet it just function properly. The connections appear to
be there but the machines are not talking to each other. HELP!
