Can anyone help me with this?

We have 3 computers on the home network. All can access the internet ok and whilst the other 2, which are clients, can see and share with each other i can't share with them and they can't with me.
The setup is my computer to a hub, then both the others connected to the hub.
Running winXP with netbeui installed on all computers.
TIA.

do you have a firewall installed on the machines?

if so make sure you have it set to allow connections from the other machines

Hopefully my XP box will be here by Wed. I will see how I make out setting it up with my network.
