can all see eachother but they cant access eachother and i also get the same

OK, I don't know but---

Have you tried searching for the computer from the search results window?

Do you have something shared on the DELL?

Does the DELL or the clients, or the router have a firewall that might be
blocking it?

If you can ping it, does pinging work with the IP address and the name?

This is only one of many sites about problems:
