Answer 1

What Operating Systems are they both running?

Answer 2

You need to share the drive or directory.... In explorer, go to the directory you want to share, select it with the left button and qith the right mouse button open the pop-up menu...Select Sharing and Security and turn o sharing... Microsoft will ask you if you are sure since this will make you computer less secure.... Say yes... The enable sharing on the drive....

You should be able to see it from network neighbourhood now....

Note: You WAP may have a firewall that can block this...

Alot would depend on what operating system you're running. Not being evasive, it REALLY matters. If you're running Windows XP Home you'll need to turn on file and printer sharing and run the wizard if you're not sure how to configure.
