The router is your "server". Just connect the PC and laptop to the router
and they should automatically see each other via My Network Places /
Entire
Network / Microsoft Windows Network. On the PC, set folders and printers
to
shared. You're done!
For security, be sure to WEP-enable the wireless link.

Hi Nigel

I had tried this befiore and in My Network Places / Entire
Network / Microsoft Windows Network there is a folder called Mshome


That's the name of the Workgroup - are both your machines members of this
Workgroup? (Run the New network Wizard in My network Places on both
machines while connected to the router)


which is not accessible (you do not have permission to use this
network resourse).

If using Pro, are both guest accounts turned OFF, have you enabled printer
and file sharing on each machine, and has each machine got IDENTICAL user
accounts set up?

I've tried to remove it but it just throws up
errors. Do you know of a way to remove it so that I can start again?

How do I WEP-enable the wireless link ?
