Please can someone tell me in a dummy way how to do all of this so I can access files from both machines and so i can print to the printer which is attached to the desktop.
My network set up is as follows:
internet --- wireless router --- wireless laptop
internet --- wireless router --- ethnet connection to desktop --- printer

Hi Lisa,
Have you tried the Network connection Wizard in XP?
I haven't tried it myself but it looks like it might be able to do this automatically for you.
START > CONTROL PANEL > NETWORK SETUP WIZARD (not the wireless one though)
Haven't been able to try it because I only have one machine. Give it a go and let us know how you get on.
It might be worth creating a new restore point before you start (just in case
)
