General discussion

sharing between a wirless to a wired comp

Mar 15, 2005 4:07AM PST

I recently add a wirless router(WRT54G). My laptop uses the wirless network and my desktop connect to the router with cat5. I don't now much about networking and I was wondering how can I share files between them both. I appreciate if anybody can help me with my problem

The basics are:

1) workgroup names the same on both
2) file and print sharing enabled
3) something set to be shared (folder)
4) XPs firewall set to except file and print sharing
