I have just set up wireless network between desktop (xp home) and notebook (xp pro) peer to peer. Signal strength is good, therefore I asume hardware is working but I can not ping between pc's. I am not running any firewall on wireless network, how do I configure?
PS I am able to hardwire the pc's via a hub and share internet and files, just not via wireless.
Any ideas

I have Desktop & Notebook plus a Linksys router, both computers see each other, but am getting a signal over and over that access is denied, and am refered to System Administrator, which is Me! There is a firewall on the router and both computers.
