file-sharingwindows 7wiredwireless-networking

I have connected my Internet to a buffalo air station router and a swtich. Computers and Laptops on this network connect to the Internet wired and wirelessly.

I would like to share files locally on this network but I can't access the laptop's which connect wirelessly.

I have shared folders on each computer but I would like to know if local file sharing is possible as all the computers utimately connect to the same router.

All computers are running Windows 7.

Use this tutorial to understand how the settings need to look like on all computers: How to Customize Network Sharing Settings in Windows 7

Other things to double check: - do all the computers use the same workgroup? - do they have set the same network profile for the network connection? (it should be home or work but not public) - are the network sharing settings compatible? The tutorial I referenced should help you out.
