HI,
I have a problem in networking. I managed to wirelessly access printer from my laptop to my desktop and other files. But I cant access from laptop to pc my files only printer I can. Why is this so? I tried disabling firewalls and it doesn't work. Both run xp. When I click on the laptop in the same work group my desktop comp it says I don't have permission and I should contact administrator and both comp are logged as admins. As we are connected via router why is it that I can see my laptop files fine but I cant see on my laptop the files from desktop?
PLEASEEEEEEE HELP

1. Make sure the Windows firewall is turned off on both
2. Create user acounts on each system that have identical usernames and passwords
3. Make sure each of these user accounts belongs to the local Administrators group

Looks like you did what you needed on the laptop.
Did you create a share on the desktop?
If so, did you you give rights for other computers to see it?
