Hi,

I recently bought Linksys wireless-G broadband router v1.1 (model #:
WRTG54G). I have desktop running Windows 2000 Professional and a notebook
running Windows XP Home edition. Using the wireless router I am able to surf
the net and check my email from both (desktop and laptop), but I do not know
how to set up the home network. I want to share the disk drive/folder on my
both the computers so that from notebook I will be able to access shared
drive of the desktop and vice versa.

Can you please tell me in detail as who to do it so that I can transfer the
files and folders between desktop and notebook using wireless router? Please
tell me all the steps involved because I am not a technical person.

Thank you.

Joe

You will need to Share the folders/drives/printers you want,
If you do not have the file sharing components in the network you will have
to install them first on both computers. then share the
folders/drives/printers...

Press the "Windows" key + "e" key, and Right click a drive icon, if sharing
and security is one of the items on the menu that is displayed, you have
sharing installed... if not you will have to go to the network section in
control pannel and add them......

Have fun...

I am having the same problem Joe is having. I have all
my shared files configured properly but the wireless
laptop cannot "see" the home network.I.E. my notebook
comp does not see my LAN network setup although I can
still surf the net through the Linksys wireless router on
my laptop.

Any help would be nice.
