connecting computers

I just recently got a wireless laptop and have my two desktops and wireless
laptop connected thru a linksys router - Since I'm new to vista and have
never connected any of my computers before - can someone ell me how to
network my 2 desktops (and maybe my laptop) together? I've googled and
searched all day long and have tried a hundred different ways to do it - but
have come up empty - from my 'main' computer I can see the other desktop in
my nework sharing but when I click on the other computer - it says it can't
connect - can anyone help me or give me a a really easy place to follow
directions....

thanks! Pam

Get Network Magic www.networkmagic.com . I saved me all kinds of grief
when I got this Vista machine.

Re: connecting computers

Sorry if you have already tried this , but if you cilck Start>Help and Support>Troubleshooting , there is a section on finding computers on a home network.

I presume they all have Vista installed ?
