networking my two wireless computers

I have a cable modem (charter), and wireless netgear router, and two wireless
computers (desktop and laptop) connected to the router. I can surf the net
from both computers.
Now I'd like to network the two computers, so I can share files between the
two.
Can someone give me the detail instructions on how to do this.
Thanks

How are these step, what you want is step 12 here,

Hi
As a first step you have to set File Sharing.
David's post above provides the steps.
If it gives you grief there after read this,

Thanks for your response.
The instructions worked. I had some trouble with the Norton Internet
Secuirty, but I figured out how to add the IP addresses of the two computers
to the "trusted" section of the firewall. I was able to share the c: drives
of the two computers with each other, and map a drive letter to the other
computer, on each computer.
One oustanding problem:
how can I have full access to certain folders (such as Documents and
Settings, or Program Files or Windows) on the other computer?
