Can`t see new laptop, any ideas??

I have NTL cable modem Linkseys wireless router and for some time have been using a wired desktop and wireless laptop without problems.
I have now added a Dell wired laptop, got the new laptop online and it can see both the desktop and the wireless laptop and I can access both from it, great.
But neither of the other two machines can access the new laptop. They can both `see` it when I go into `View Workgroup Computers` but double clicking on it`s icon brings up an error message saying something about not having permission.
On the new laptop I have shared access to HD, docs etc and said yes to shared printer etc.
What have I missed?
probably something simple.
Thanks in advance.
