Answer 1

it sounds like your main pc has a firewall running, if its vista try looking around the control panel for security settings, then tell the firewall to let the other pcs on the net.

silly question, are the pcs all in the same network, that might be the problem to. im not to sure about vista as i don't use windows  at all myself, anyway try looking at that, and if your still baffled e-mail me. later dude

Answer 2

If the main PC is connected to the router by a cable then this will connect to the router without wireless. The other 2 computers do not normally connect through the main PC they receive their connection direct from the router

It sounds as though the router has a fault stopping the wireless broadcast

In the first instance try resetting the router, pulling the power for 30s and then letting the router reboot. If no joy you will have to login in to the router and reset the wireless settings. If you are unsure how to do this phone BT helpline
