I am running Windows XP on Pentium 4 computer and using
DLink Airplus Extreme G wireless router to connect to a
laptop. It works fine until I try us the XP firewall and
then it will not let the laptop access the files on my
desktop computer. I can still share internet access
(cable) but not files.
Help?
