I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could help me with this. When using
the network wizard, it asks me to create a disk to use on the other computers
in my network. The thing is that neither computer has a floppy drive. How do
i create a network between the two computers without creating a floppy disk?

I have high speed internet with a router giving internet access to both
computers. The internet part of the router is working fine. Both computers do
have internet access.

Now, what im wanting is to use file and printer sharing among the two
computers. If anyone can help me i would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for
taking the time to read my question.

Try posting the details to the microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web
newsgroup. This newsgroup is for Microsoft's Broadband Networking hardware
and software only. The other newsgroup is for general networking issues on
Windows XP.
