I assume that your Internet connection is through a home broadband
router.
Yes.
What connection method did you specify to the Wizard? If the Wizard
detects your router's shared Internet connection, tell it to use that.
Otherwise, select "This computer connects to the Internet through a
residential gateway or through another computer on my network."
I think I chose "other" -- connected through a hub.
Tell the Wizard to enable File and Printer Sharing.
Yes -- done.
Configure any firewall program (Norton, McAfee, PC-cillin, ZoneAlarm,
etc) on the laptop to allow access on the local area network. Note
that some recent antivirus programs, such as Norton Antivirus 2006,
have built-in firewall components that need configuring.
No firewall installed other than windows. I've disabled Windows
firewall.
If the computer has a firewall program, disable the built-in Windows
Firewall.
Selecting the "other" connection method blocks File and Printer
Sharing. Run the Wizard again and select "through a residential
gateway".
