    I am using a Linksys wireless router with my home network. I have Cable modem into the Linksys, one wired into the linksys and 2 wireless computers. They all are able to access the internet no problems. But I cannot seem to get the 3 to see each other or access each other. I have file sharing turned on and print sharing turned on. Everytime I try to access the computers it gives me an error that I don't have administrator rights to do it..

    What gives? I have been trying to fix this for a very long time.. I work on it and then get frustrated and stop.

    I tried the network wizard, but no luck. Each computer, has the same workgroup and a unique name.

    Can anyone help me..


    thanks

    My bet is on having the same admin account on all machines with the same password.
