    Problem with home network


    Hello all,
    I am having a problem with my home network i am using a Lynksis WRT54G router and am trying to have a XP computer, a XP laptop, a 7 laptop, along with various other things(iPhone, Xbox, Wii etc) networked together. However even though all computers are networked together(i can ping each one from differnt computers) and on the same network i cannot see the other computers. the XP computer is also hardwired to the router. any help is greatly apreciated
