Wireless troubles

I have two new computers both running XP SP2. They are both connected to
wireless internet without problem, i would like to use that wireless
connection to connect them to each other to be able to have shared folders
and a shared printer. Please help me out

If the two PCs are on the same WLAN, just insert the XP CD into EACH
machine, go 'Additional Tasks' (or somesuch) from the menu, then 'Setup a
home or small office network'. Follow the cues...

Don't forget to add the IP address of each machine to the trusted zone of
the firewall on the other...

and both machine have 802.11x that connect them, or what is your wireless
connection?

oh yea, how is your "wireless internet" connected. What kind of modem do you
have or how are you connecting to the internet?
