                     satelite internet with modem
modem connected to router/both desktops are running ethernet cables, laptop wireless, all get on internet fine.   problem is this, the 2 hp can communicate to each other, the dell can not at all
heres what they read when i go to my network places
dell/my network places/ i can see hp desktop & dell only, but when i click on hp it reads-
\\your-hp\shared docs is not accessible. you might not have permission to use this network.
but i can open up the dell one

Check the firewall running on the Dell.  Dell now preconfigures their systems with a 3rd party firewall that must be configured to allow local netwrok traffic.

Look in the system Tray for either the Mcafee or Norton icon and go thru the configuration.
