Need help with file sharing - home network (wireless)

Can I use Windows XP's file sharing feature to share files/printers when my
desktop is wired to a wireless router - and my notebook (or laptop) has a
wireless connection to the home network. (The desktop does not have a
wireless card.)

I can connect to the Internet just fine, but after running Network Setup
Wizard on both computers I cannot see either computer's shared folders.

I discovered that the Norton Internet Security (that is installed on my new
Dell notebook) was blocking my WinXP Home Network from sharing files.
Fortunatley once you click on the Personal Firewall link you can easily use
the WIZARD button (on the 'Networking' tab) to enable file sharing.
