WinXP Win98 Networking Basics

Hi.

I am a complete novice when it comes to networking. My son installs them
for a living but doesn't seem to have time to help me. Is there somewhere I
could visit online that provides step by step instructions for us network
dummies.

I have managed to install a Netgear814 router. I have a WinXP laptop
connected by network cable and downstairs I have a Win98 desktop connected
by a MA104 wireless usb adapter. Both computers can access the internet but
neither can see each other or share resources. All I want to do is share
files between them.

Any ideas for an analog grandmother floundering in the digital age?
