Ok im really scratching my head here 
My home internet connection wireless router homehub thingy has a network set up where everyone can access each others pcs/laptops and the x box. Whether it be wired or wireless (theres about 5 things connected at any one time)
But on my wireless connection I cant access anything and also noone can access me 
What am I doing wrong??

try this:
create a folder on your desktop, right click it and click sharing.
On the sharing tab click something like 'I understand and enable file sharing'.

XP home or professional?
home has a funny way of dealing with sharing folders. Make sure "File and Printer sharing" is enabled in the Networks icon in Control Panel

Start by sharing a folder.
Create a new one somewhere on ya desktop. Right click -> Properties. Go to Sharing, click on "I understand the risks, enable file sharing" - DONT USE THE WIZARD.
Call the foler a shared name and press OK. Now try and find the PC from another one.
