how to make wireless network

There are three computers in my house that I want to share files and a printer between. I have DSL, so we have a D-Link wireless modem router. The all computers are now using the internet through wireless router with out ethernet cable, and one of that is connected to the printer using usb cable.
The other computer (Comp B and c) are in another room and it connects to the Internet from the wireless router. So what I want to know is how I can set up a network between these three computers in which I can share files and the printer? I tried couple of methods using set up home or small office network but could not share the printer or the files.Can you explain me properly simple way to do it.
Thanks

Ensure that all are in the same workgroup. Share "shared documents" (not shared by default). Now all computers should be visible in My Network (View workgroup computers). Share the printer. Find it on the network under the host pc. right click and connect.
