I have just set up a home wireless network with my desktop and laptop. Both
computers can access the high speed internet and will ping eachother but I
can't get any filr and printer sharing between them. I have tried disabling
the firewalls on both computers with no luck. The laptop uses the windows
firewall and the desktop used the Norton firewall. I have also configuerd
both firewalls to accept file and printer sharing. I have set the drives on
both computers for sharing but still no luck. The wireless router is a
Linksys G broad band router. Is there something I am forgetting or missing?

Cheers
John
