First of all please check the file and printer sharing is enabled in all of your systems.

if enabled, share a folder in one of the PCs.Note the IP of the PC

Then browse the IP from another PC. take run give \\

If this also not working check the protocol support enabled in your AP.

Hope this will work out

Whenever I have problems with file-sharing etc it usually has something to do with how many workgroups you have on the network. Once a workgroup is installed there doesn't seem to be a way to get rid of it. If all else fails. Format all PCs and start workgroups from scratch. A bit drastic but a COMPLETE last resort
