Is it possible to connect the three notebook computers in our house so they
can communicate with each other and share each others’ files without using the
internet? All the computers have
Bluetooth
built in and wireless networking capabilities.

As your computers are already equipped with wireless networking capabilities,
you are halfway there. You also need a wireless router. If you have an ADSL
broadband connection, you could buy a combined
ADSL
modem and wireless
router.
In this case you will need to set it up for your broadband connection, using the
access details your ISP will be able to provide.
If you are using cable broadband or if you don’t have a broadband connection,
you should buy a standalone wireless router without a modem. Set up the router
to createa wireless network, then connect the notebooks to that network. Once
this is done, you can easily share files on each computer by dropping them into
the Shared Documents folder on that PC (under My Computer).
