Networking with both wireless and lan computers.

I currently have a Belkin wireless router with 4 lan ports.

I have a network that I use to connect my desktop computer running Windows
XP to my xbox360 via ethernet. I also have just purchased a notebook
computer running Vista Home Premium. I want to be able to connect to my
desktop computer via a wireless connection but I have been unable to do so.
I can connect to the internet with my laptop, and I can see Windows Media
Player on my desktop, but I cannot see any of the shared folders or printers
on the desktop computer.

Can somebody please help.

Thank you.

Hi
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network
settings,http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html
As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is
allowed to be shared.
