There maybe a simple answer to my question - I Hope!!

How do I access the other PC's on the network for file and printer sharing?

I have NTL broadband through an STB which is connected to a router, which is then connected to my main PC. I then also have another PC and a laptop connected wirelessly to my PC. The two wirlesssly connected PC's are connected to the Internet through my PC and working fine - I just cant' seem to be able to connect to those PC's to share files.

Do I need to connect my PC, that has the router attached, to the other PC's using another wireless adapter? I was presuming that I should be able to connect using the router!!

All help appreciated.

Thanks.
