Ok, I have a desktop computer that connects to a router and I have a laptop that connects via wireless card. I have no problem getting onto the internet, but I can't share my files and printer. I've tried the network wizard and I've tried just going into my connections and enabling file/printer sharing but I still can't get it to work.

Do you have the workgroup names set right? Right click on a folder and see if there is a sharing tab also! You cant share if the folder isnt set to share. You can also simply right click on the drive in my computer and share the entire drive.

Check the permissions on othe folder and the printer you shared. Right click on the folder go into permissions and make sure you have added the Administrator group. Also make sure you have added the administrator group in the security tab. Try this and it should work.

some good techniques above. additionally, i like to initiate with some hassle-free issues as nicely. have you ever rebooted all gadgets? in simple terms could confirm. i've got considered the place some on the spot routers prefer this periodically. How are you "connecting to the community" in case you won't be able to hook up with the on the spot device? you're able to purchase new on the spot card for computing device - if that fixes it than you already know the place your project grew to become into, if it would not, return it (confirm you examine the shops "re-stocking" fee agreements, return coverage, and so on.). Or, attempt to borrow from a chum or different computing device in case you have yet another card. As reported above, attempt to slender down what isn't working.
