File Sharing in Wireless G Network

I have installed a wireless G base station and notebook
adapter (MN-820 Kit). I have a desktop with Windows XP
connected to the base station with an ethernet cable. I
have a notebook with Millenium connected via the wireless
adapter.

Both the desktop and the Notebook can access the internet
and log in to the Base Station. They are both assigned to
the same workgroup and the firewall is not enabled on the
XP system. File and Printer sharing are enabled on both.

I can not share files or printers between the systems. In
the Broadband Network Utility I can see the other system
under Network Devices. However, it only shows an IP
address, not the computer name. When I double click I get
the message "No information available for device". The
same thing happens on the desktop and the notebook. Any
ideas? Thanks

I wish someone had an answer. My situation is idential.
The Broadband Network Utility does not list my Laptop
under "Networked Devices" nor does the laptop see the
desktop - yet both access the Internet just fine. I can
neither share files or printers - all shared and the
group name is identical - firewall disabled. PLEASE
HELP - this is a very common question!

Thanks,
Brian

Ditto this same problem. My only difference is that I
have two desktops,one wireless one not and both XP Home.
Otherwise symtoms are identical. I see no solutions here
either. Hello!! Is there anybody at MS looking?
