Log in on your router manager http://192.168.x.x and enable DHCP.DHCP provides an automated way to distribute and update IP addresses and
other configuration information on a network. A DHCP server provides
this information to a DHCP client through the exchange of a series of
messages, known as the DHCP conversation or the DHCP transaction. If the
DHCP server and DHCP clients are located on different sub-nets, a DHCP
relay agent is used to facilitate the conversation.
Router Setup tab
Make sure you are in the Setup -> Basic Setup category.
DHCP is Disabled
Scroll down until you see 'My PC is connected to this modem/router and works - 180px-dhcp_router_enabled.jpgled, select 'Enable'
Enable DHCP
If you want, you can change the number that the DHCP IP assigning starts.
This is optional, and is totally dependant on personal preference.In
this picture, the maximum number of DHCP clients is 3. You may need to
increase this number according to how many people will need a dynamic IP
address on your network. Once the max is reached, no one else can get
an address until one expires!
Don't forget to save!
Scroll down and click 'Save Settings'

Do you need to see the desktop or just share folders from each other? If the latter then you need to do the following:
Use Windows Explorer and select a folder you want to share. Right click and select sharing and security.
On the sharing tab click on Share this folder. Enter a share name ( I like to enter the PC name _folder name; Rick1_Downloads)
Click on Permissions. If your ok with everyone using the PC's and Laptops having access then highlight Everyone and click on Full Control.
Do this on each PC and Laptop.
That should be it or darned near close.
