Question about 'Getting Network Neighborhood to recognize newly attached computers'

I have a question about Getting
Network Neighborhood to recognize newly attached computers:
I have an AMD Athlon XP desktop PC running Windows XP Home, a Toshiba Intel Celeron
laptop running Windows XP Home, and an HP desktop running Windows XP Professional.
I have a cable modem with a 4-port wireless router linking the desktops by wire
and laptop wirelessly. Here's the problem:
My laptop and my desktop both run Windows XP Home. On my network, they recognize
each other, and when I try to locate a printer on my network (connected to my HP
desktop), the AMD and laptop are listed, but the HP is not. I can locate files between
the AMD and the laptop, but the HP is somewhat out of the loop.
However, the HP does have access to the internet, and I can ping it from the other
two computers without a problem. I've installed every protocal I can find on all
three systems, and I've cycled through all the support questions already asked.
Nothing that have been suggested has worked.
Finally, I did (Before I got the AMD, which was about a week ago) have the laptop
access the printer on my HP previously, but now it will not, and won't even recognize
the other computer on my network. I've tried every connection setting I can think,
worked wizard too many times, but still the only computers listed are the AMD and
laptop.
What should I do? This focuses on printing, but in the end it's not even on my network,
so it's not just about the printer not being access...I'm tired of having to manually
transfer files to print things...Thank you.
