network filesharing

Hello! I am having a hard time trying to set up my home network. 1 desktop and 2 laptops. All windows 7. Both laptop can share just fine but not the desktop. They're all in the same homegroup. Any suggestions or maybe software that makes files sharing easier?

I'm guessing the third computer is setup wrong. Probably thinks it is on a public network so sharing is blocked.

That should help get you started. If you don't have those options go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center and make sure it says you are on a Home Network. If it doesn't you can change it to one there.

computers are already all part of the same homegroup.

Is it showing as on a Home Network in the Network and Sharing Center?
