I have a laptop with Windows XP pro, and a desktop with Windows 98. I am
currently sharing an internet connection. The Linksys wireless router is
connected to the cable and the desktop. No problem there. However, when I
try to set up a home network for file and printer sharing, I get:
The network connections listed below are disconnected. Plug in your network
cables or otherwise connect your network hardware and click next.
I've never set up a network before. Any ideas?

Often print and file sharing problems are personal firewall issues.
