Maybe configuration would be a better place for this but I will try here (move it if necessary).

Three computers:
2 desktop running Vista, wired to a 3COM wireless router.
1 laptop running XP Pro wireless to same router.

All have Internet access (can see the internet).
The wired computers can see each other and share back and forth.
The wired computers can see the wireless laptop and access shared folders.
But, the laptop cannot see the wired computers.

What am I not setting correctly on the laptop?
Note (laptop) WEP is not in effect, MAC filtering is.

Help, Please?

issue resolved - the network firewall on the laptop was the culprit.
Connections are working properly now.
Thank you.
