I have ZTE ZXV10 H201L router with 4 UTP ports, and WiFi adapter. I connected my HTPC directly to LAN port of router and it connects to the Internet without problem. Next, I connected my laptop by WiFi to the same router, and laptop connects to Internet without problem.
Problem is that I cannot conect those two machines (HTPC and laptop) into single home network for file sharing, multimedia streaming and so on. Both machine have Win7, HTPC is Home Premium, laptop is Pro. How to set up devices to work together as small home network with file sharing capabilities?

Yes, I turned on print and file sharing, and I can see other PC in explorer (but it works on laptopt, I can see HTPC, but from HTPC I can't see laptop), then I can see shared folders, but when I click on one of them get message taht I "have no rights to acces that folder" or something like that?

The easiest way for an inexperienced person to setup a simple home network is use "Homegroup" in the control panel for both machines and windows will do the work for you. The you can right click and drive or folder to share with the Homegroup.
