wired and wireless network

i have one pc running xp pro connected to a D-Link router (DI 714P+)
via an ethernet connection, and one xp pro laptop that uses a Netgear
802.11b wireless pc card to connect to the router. The router is
connected to a belkin adsl modem via a crossover cable. Both computers
are able to connect to the internet, but i cant share files between
them. NEED HELP!

Are they in the same subnet and is the Workgroup name set to the same
value for both computers? Is file sharing enabled?

XP firewall improperly configured?

(im a bit of a novice) how do i check that they are in the same subnet
and what the value of the workgroup name is?

firewall?

Look in your Control Panel settings. The IP/subnet info is in Network
Connections - Local Area Connection - Support tab.

For workgroup name, look in Control Panel - System settings - Computer
Name.

You'll also find firewall settings in the Control Panel area.
