I have a laptop for over a year which I used as my main computer. It is connected to the internet via a wireless router and then obviously a modem. My internet connection works fine. This weekend I bought a desktop which I connected to the same router and that is how I connect to the internet with no problems. What I want to do is network them together to share files and a printer. I am pretty good navigating my way through XP but I can only seem to find places that allow me to set up a network that is both either wireless or wired but not both on the same network.
What settings do I need to change in order to have my laptop networked to my desktop. I just need the basics I can figure out the details.
The second part.
My desktop has vista on it. I feel like I am in room that no one is speaking my language when I am trying do anything that is not basic. So what do I need to do in order to get the desktop set-up up to network with my laptop.

just connect both of them to a router, createa work group, add both pc and laptop to work group, make sure to tun on file and print sharing, and then go to hard drive or folders you want to share and right click, sharing and security...
