I have 2 pc's wired to a dlink dsl-924 modem-router, and on the same router i have a laptop connected wireless.
I want to be able to access the wired network from the laptop so i can access my music from my pc. Any ideas on how i'd do this?
 
ok , So let me see if I understand
you have broadband
you have a wireless broadband modem / router
you have a wireless notebook
you have a pc connected to the router with a cat5 cable
both the notebook and pc can surf the net
and you want to share files
right ?

i will assume you have xp
you just need to create a peer to peer and share the music folders

first click start , run type in cmd hit enter
then type ipconfig/all
both of your IPs should be the same except for the last octet ( last 2 numbers)
go to control panel , double click network connections ( turn off all firewalls for the time being)
highlight network connection, click advanced, then network identification
the same name needs to be there for the peer to peer ( workgroup) if not click change,,, do not click domain
 
Or you could just run the home network setup wizard. (In control panel, go to network connections, network setup wizard) Put them all on the same workgroup. (mshome is fine) Make sure to turn file and printer sharing on. And select this computer connects to the internet threw a residential gateway or another computer on the network. Run the wizard on all computers on the network and restart them all.

Or you could just use Network Magic
