Where can I find instructions on how to setup wireless file sharing?

Hi

Ive successfully set up wireless ICS with a Netgear 834.

I'd love to know if its possible to also share files/printer between the
machines (2 PC's and 1 laptop).

Any info on where I can find instructions on how to set it up would be very
welcome.

Thanks for your time.

Ian

Hi Rob

Thanks for replying.

Sorry should have said:

Laptop running Win XP Pro
1 PC running Win XP Home (connected directly to Netgear 834)
1 PC running Win 98SE

Thanks

Wireless file sharing is EXACTLY like wired file sharing. If you ran
an ethernet cable, there would be no difference in setup.

There's quite a bit under:

This looks about right:

Of course, I read the above article after I post it. In the above
article, the author assumes that there is no DHCP server in the
system. Therefore, he assigns static (fixed) IP addresses to both
computahs. As all wireless routers have a DHCP server, static IP's
are not needed and DHCP assigned IP's will work. Therefore, the first
step, where he assigns the IP's is *NOT* necessary. It's also not
necessary to install NetBEUI protocol as TCP/IP will work just fine.
Start at step #1 and pay attention to what he says about logins and
passwords, which is where networking between W98/98/ME and W2K/XP
usually screw up.
