Hi. I got my family connected to a network, we all run XP home or
MCE05. I can access my sister's PC, but I can't access my mum's or
dad's PCs. My dad's is an HP laptor with built in wireless, my mum's is
hooked up to our wireless router. With my mums, I get a 'Network path
cannot be found' error. With my dad, I get asked for a password.
Everyone runs XP Home, I run MCE. Noone can connect to my mum or dad.
Please help.

Are you able to ping them?

Is windows Firewall turned on or are they running another software based
firewall?

For your dads set up a user account to connect with.
