I have 4 computers connected to my router, 2 wireless, 2 wired, plus an
xbox wired (xbox isnt important here), i have been trying to get my
media sharing to work, so that i can play my music from various
computers on other computers.

At the moment all devices can connect to one(wired) computer and play
its music, the other wired device can see all connected devices, but can
only connect to the one wired one. one laptop can connect to the one
wired, *but* only sees that device and "other users of this PC", despite
having all devices connected to the same network. the other laptop can
view the one it can connect to, and the other wired computer, and "other
users of this PC", but it cannot play music from the other wired device.
Aslo, the one wired computer that every device can connect to, can see
and allow all other devices, but they dont show up in the library.

internet ------- router --wired-- computer1 & computer2
.........................|
.........................----wireless-- computer3 & computer4

overall. #1,2 see all devices but can only play media from #1
#3 cant see any but #1
#4 cant see any but #1,2 and cannot connect to #2

i have media sharing enabled on all devices, i have everything possibly
enabled to have them look for new devices, and i made the network
private so that it can work. windows firewall is turned on for all and
media player 11 is allowed in its settings. all computers run *Vista*

all help is appreciated, thankyou.
