Install the MS NetBEUI protocol. Because you do not have a true server environment, you need the computers to "announce" themselves. MS NetBEUI is a protocol that allows the computers to broadcast. Control Panel --> Network --> Add --> Protoocol --> Add --> Microsoft --> NetBEUI --> OK --> etc. If you have WinXP, the NetBEUI protocol is on the CD and you'll need to add it from there.

Also all three computers must have at least one folder shared in order to be visible in Network Neighborhood.

Is computer 1 in the same workgroup? If not, this would also gave the result you mentioned. Check the workgroup and modify if needed.

when you installed your network adaptors you also installed tcpip so you do not need to install NetBEUI also if your wireless network is using a router NetBEUI is an unroutable protocol(as far as i know).I have found in WIN98 if there is other nics installed I MUST DISABLE THEM and then i can connect to my network also as posted they must be in the same workgroup or u will not see other pc's.

hope this helps
