i recently upgrade to wireless at least for my laptop. The other two
computers on the network are desktop and not wireless but are hooked into the
router that has the capability to do both. Here is the problem both the
laptop and the family pc can see the main computer but we can not see
eachother anymore since the upgrade or change out.
If this helps both the family pc and the laptop run winxp2 service pack two
home and pro and main pc runs xp pro service pack1.

other possibilities too, and any might be the cause of your problem. Read this

Or look at "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all", from each computer, and
diagnose the problem.  Read this article, and linked articles, and follow
instructions precisely (download browstat!):
