home networking

I recently set up a home network. all computers in my
network can reach the internet but i can not presently
share files. one computer has a wireless adaptor. the
other is simply hooked up to a router. DO I NEED A
SEPARATE ETHERNET ADAPTOR FOR THE COMPUTER WHICH IS
HOOKED UP DIRECTLY TO THE ROUTER? THANKS.

If you have a firewall on any of the computers then this
will be causing a problem. You will need to go into the
firewall software and allow the ip addresses of the other
computers.

If all the computers are seen on the network and shared
files is enabled then this is the most common problem.

Second Q: You only need one ethernet adapter on the
computer connected to the router.
