I have a wireless notebook computer and a desktop using a regular broadband cable plugin now for some reason I can not get the two to talk to each other or setup a little home network. I have norton firewalls on both. Can someone please tell me what I am missing! Also I have a wireless router with the desktop pluged into the router.

You'll have to set them up to commute with each other with fire wire to fire wire first, afterwords you will be able to communicate in between computers. You have to get the icon of your desktop onto your laptop and vice versa.

It's not what you're missing. It's what you've got. Firewalls are notorious for making it impossible to do home networks. Disable both your firewalls, then set up the home network. Then, if you want, re-enable the firewalls (though, with a router, this is pretty much a waste of time).
