I have my main PC wired into the above router. I have a laptop linking into it wireless and another desktop linked wireless (the 360 we wont count)

What I cannot find the idiots guide to do. Is to link the lappy, main desktop and 2nd desktop all together to play counterstrike via LAN.

Could anyone explain how I can simply do this. Or do I need to purchase another piece of networking equipment?

Cheers
 
Connect them all to the router, set up encryption on the wireless segment (WPA or ideally WPA2, depends what you're other kit supports).
Make sure they're all in the same workgroup and if you've got any firewalls, the LAN IPs are in the trusted zone.

Done.

They all link via the router and have encryption. But cant be seen by each other.
 
Can they ping (start, run, cmd, ping [IP address]) each other?
Network Places or any of the explorer things takes an age to catch on.
