First get ALL systems to access the Internet via the wireless. This will
ensure your TCP setup is correct and the signal is sufficient to retain access
over time. Forget sharing untill this works reliably.
Then, each system can create a Share for resources it owns, like a printer
or a directory. You should realize that you need to reject all access to
ports 135-139 and 445 from the Internet and allow access from your LAN
(typically 192.168.*.* addresses). Under the Security control pannel,
allow print/file sharing.
All systems need to be in the same workgroup and for XP/home edition,
you need to enable the Guest account and give it a password (for your protection).
All systems can use the same password too. To gain access to a shared resource on another system,
right-click My Network Places->map network drives
choose a drive letter and enter the Shared name, eg \\systemB\SharedDocs
you should get a prompt for the password and it should mount for you.
