2 WAPS and cannot share files

I have an Actiontec WAP and a Netgear WAP, both connected to a hub which is
in turn connected to a DSL router. I have two WAPs as the house walls are
thick and there were many deadspots with just one WAP.

A Fujitsu desktop (XP Professional) is permanently connected to the
Actiontec WAP and is set up for file and printer sharing. Everything works
works fine (accessing the internet and email and sharing files) for both the
Fujitsu and my Acer laptop when the Acer (XP Home SP2) connects to the
Actiontec WAP. However when the Acer is connected to the Netgear WAP it
cannot see the Fujitsu and so not share files or the printer. (It can however
still access the internet and email and see other PCs connected to the
Netgear WAP and share files with them.)

Somehow I need to link the two WAPs - suggestions greatly welcomed. Thanks

Possible:

Try setting each WAP to a different channel.
