networking problems

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

Hi all, I am running cable internet directly into the nm-
700 router. I have a sony pcg-k13 wireless laptop that I
am using as wireless. I am able to share the internet
between both my wireless laptop and desktop computer.
However I am having networking problems. I also got a
desktop computer that I am trying to network. I have
enabled sharing on the desktop computer, but when i go to
Ms Broadband utility I always get an error when trying to
access network devices, from my laptop, the errors are
device not available or no information found on device.
My main goal is to be able to access my desktop files via
my wireless laptop, is this possible or does the network
have to be all wired in opposed to wireless going to
wired. Any infomation much appreciated thanks in advance
