Laptop internet but no network

I have a wireless access point and a new laptop that connects to the
internet through the wap just fine but does not see the other computers on
the network.  3 computers total all running XP, two are wired to the router
along with the WAP.
I ran the network setup wizard on the laptop but it only sees the LAN card
that is not being used at this time. I am connecting to the Internet through
the integral wireless card in the laptop

Any help on this would be much appreciated. I have a feeling it's going to
be pretty simple... but maybe not.

Thanks

Peter

Can you ping other computer by IP? If not, check the firewall first. If yes, check the NetBIOS over TCP/IP and file sharing. Or these search results may help,
