Network problem

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I am trying to set up a wireless network at home between
my laptop and PC.

My laptop has Centrino wireless technology and my PC is
connected to a wireless broadband router using an
internal network card.

My laptop recognises the signals sent by the router
however i am unable to access shared documents and files.
I have run wizards on both my laptop and PC which set up
succesfully however when clicking onto the 'View
workgroup compters' option on both computers nothing
appears.

I have little experience within the 'networking' field
and would greatly appreciate advice or a walkthrough
guide to solve my problem. Thank you

Make sure that the built-in Internet Connection Firewall is disabled on both
PC's
It's only meant for stand-alone PC's and not for a LAN connection
