Default how to find other computers connected to the same router

On each computer go to Network and Internet connections/Network connections.
Double click on the Local Area Connection and click the Properties button:

1. Click the Advanced tab - make sure the firewall is NOT enabled.

2. On the General tab, highlight TCP/IP and click properties. Click the
Advanced button, click the WINS tab - make sure NetBIOS is enabled.

I have 3 computers connected to a DSL router in my office.
All 3 computers are Dell Pentium 3.
All 3 computers run Windows XP Prof.
All 3 computers are connected to the Netgear MR814v2 router by Ethernet
cables. All 3 computer's "My computer' has 'shared documents' folder and

one
hard drive folder 'Common' set to share.

When I click My Network Place / Microsoft Network, I found this Network
named HOMEBASE. But when I click this network, I can only see Desktop1. I

do
not see other 3 computers online.

What do I need to do to connect to all other computers?
