Advising someone to turn off his firewall is irresponsible advice. It takes
only a few seconds of running without a firewall to get infected with things
like Blaster or Sasser.

i am trying to enable file and print sharing on my wireless networt,
but i'm not having any luck.

I am using a desktop p.c with router and cable modem attached and a
laptop with a wireless card.

The p.c is not wireless, it's connected to the router through USB.

on the desktop p.c i can see the laptop, but i can't access it, and
on the laptop i can't see anything.

Any help guys.

TIA
