Ok tried in vain to search this problem so maybe you guys and gals can help.
My network is set up thus I have an XP sp2 pc set up as a server to a dlink router (dir-615) I have another xp sp2 pc set up in my daughter's bedroom which connects to the network via a wieless adapter and finally I have a vista home edition pc connected to the router via an ether net cable as is the first XP machine.
OK the main xp machine sees the other xp pc and the vista pc and is able to access and send files to both machines no problem.

The Pc in my daughters room can connect to the vista pc files but not on the main xp pc (shows cannot access... you may not have administration.. err0r)
The same problem is happening with the vista pc so basically MAin server Xp pc can access the other pcs on my network but the other pcs cannot access my Main Xp server pc.
Any ideas on how to set the main server pc to allow access to its shared files all firewall are off and the workgroup name on all PCs are the same
