File Sharing Between Wired/Wireless

[Billsy]

Hi
I hope someone can help. I have just setup a Linksys WAG354G Wireless adsl home gateway. It is wired to my main PC via a PCI network card and my laptop is connected wireless. I can access the net from both computers. What I need is a walkthrough of how to setup file and directory sharing between the 2 computers in simple terms as IÂ’m a networking first timer. The main pc is XP pro. Laptop is XP home. Any help/links appreciated.

Thanks

Billsy

Use the networking wizard.

The first part of the wizard asks me to "select the internet conection" so I select the network adapter right?(this is where the router/modem connects) The second part asks me for the "private network" which would also be the Network adapter wouldn't it?? It's not in the list on the second part of the wizard
