If this is a Windows O/S, then sharing resources between machines is no
different if the machines were all wire connections. You configure the O/S
on the machines to share resources between machines and it has nothing to
do with what type of connection wire or wireless the machines are using.

The link covers all the Windows O/S(s) and how to configure them to share
resources and it makes no difference wired or wireless.

It seems that you may be in need of this too. ;-)

Are you trying to just share files on the two machines hard disks (and maybe
a printer), or share access to the gateway modem from both pc's?

Sharing files and printers is easy.
The shared internet connection is supposed to be easy, however there are
quite a few things that block Internet Connection Sharing (ICS). Like
firewalls, virus blockers, system cleaners, etc.

Which are you tring to do?

If this is DSL then plug the DSL into the WRT54G and connect your pc to one
of the four LAN plugs in the router.

From your description, you can share the internet connection, but are having
probs with the file/printer sharing over the network. For that (printer and
file sharing) you don't need the address, since it is all Local Area
Networking

There are many ways, but the way I do it, is just to start windows explorer,
point to the folder (or root) of what I want to share, and right click and
select sharing and security, and follow the prompts. As a security measure,
file sharing is turned off/disabled unless you specifically turn it on. For
the printer, I go to control panel, select printers and faxes, select the
printer, right click on it and select properties, select the sharing tab and
put in the info.

Nothing wrong with network places, I just do it differently, and can't give
you the steps for that way.

Suggestion, while NOT the best way to leave it, I usually just share the
root first, to make sure it works, and THEN go back and tweak it the way I
want it for security later.

Well if you don't have a *clue* then I know you don't have the machines
names in the same *Workgorup* and thay are not going to see each other and
will not be abl to share resources and a printer.

The link I provided gives you the *clue* and it doesn't take a rocket
scientist to figure it out.

NG. ;-)

Care to take a guess at how much the other users of that group enjoy
your "ragging" and encouraging a troll to post even more drivel?
