I have a new laptop running XP SP2 and an older laptop running Win98. They
are both successfully wirelessly connected to a Linksys wireless router and
both can access the internet fine, but I'm not having any joy getting them to
see each other. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jon

Please read in the XP help about setting accounts for other machines.
This is a routine admin chore, not related to wireless at all.

Both should be on same workgroup
Enable printer and file sharing on both laptops
Run Home/Office network setup wizard in XP (don't remember the wizard's
exact name)
