Have you run the wireless connection wizard on the second computer? Dan

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!
