How do I network a bunch of computers already sharing an internet connection?
kmarai asked:
My computers are all successfully sharing a dsl internet connection via a wireless router. But I can’t figure out how to get them to see each other on a file sharing network, What am I missing? No single computer can see any other computers, but they can all use the dsl connection. What gives? I’ve networked the old fashioned way before so what am I missing?

The faster/easier way to get from one computer to another is to just go to start>run, type \computername, hit ok, and it will show all the shared files/printers avaliable on that computer.
If you would really like to go the long browsing way just make sure each computer is in the same workgroup here:
rightclick on my computer and go to properties
go to computer name
click change
enter your workgroup name/make sure it is correct
hit ok on everything (including restart)
All of the computers should now appear in the same workgroup in my network places.
