sharing troubles

I have a desktop with vista 64 and two wireless laptops, one with vista home premium and the other with xp pro. The desktop and vista laptop have only one user w/o a password. The xp laptop has two users both w/o passwords. The laptops' c: drives are set up to share with password control turned off as are c:, d: and e: drives on the desktop. A network printer works fine from all 3 machines.

When I try to access my xp laptop from the desktop, it shows the c: drive and various directories, but denies access when I try to look in them.

When I try to access the desktop from my xp laptop, it lets me into the c: and D: drives, but not the e: drive.

When I try to access my desktop form my vista laptop, I can see all the drives and various folders, but the only drive it lets me into is the D: drive. (All of them are configured identically as near as I can tell).

When I try to access my vista laptop from the desktop, I'm asked for a user name and password. If I enter my user name and leave the password blank, it gives me an error message. If I configure both the desktop and vista laptop so I have password (again there is only one user account on both), it still gives me an error message when I try to log into the vista laptop from the desktop.

The laptops will not allow access each others folders, but do show the list of folders and the c: drive on each.

Any ideas?
