Hello everyone,

I can't seem to figure out how to network 2 computers together using a wireless 
router.

Before, when I networked them through a "hard-wired" router, it was simple. I 
just plugged both into the router, went through the "My Network Places" setup 
wizard, and was able to let the second computer see my shared documents and 
print to the printer I had connected to my main computer. I tried to do the 
same thing with the wireless setup wizard, but I couldn't find the steps to set 
anything up like I did in the regular network setup wizard. The second computer 
doesn't see the printer or the main computer.

The main computer is hooked directly into the router, the other computer that 
is hooked up wirelessly can't see my shared folder or the printer. I can't see 
the wirelessly connected computer either. I also have a 1 terabyte external 
drive hooked up to my main computer. I'd like to let the second computer see 
that also. I can see it just fine in My Network Places on my desktop so I 
figure I got that setup correctly.

Both computers are running XP.

Please help as the second computer is used by my wife in another room and she 
has threatened to make me sleep in the dog house if I can't figure it out; and 
it's getting cold here in Colorado at night!

Thanks,

Ken
