    Wireless networking help

    Hallo there folks. I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me out. So, I have a network setup (I am trying to set it up anyway) in my house. I can share internet. It's a wireless network. My laptop is on wireless, and I have a desktop hardwired in. It wont, however, let me share files and printers. Can anyone help me out with this?

    I'm very new to networking. Windows XP doesnt seem to be helping me at all either >_<

    Make sure both the laptop and PC have file and printer sharing enabled and are both on the same workgroup
