Canpt figure out how to configure Win 2000 computer to network with my XP computer. Can't use SP Wizard config disk for a Win 2000 computer. When I attempt to use 2000 computer's network wizard, the choices aren't clear. The choices in Wizard are: Dial-up to private network (usning phone lines), Dial-up to the Internet (using phone line), Connect to a privat network through the internet, Accept incoming connections, Connect to another computer using serial, parallel, or infrared port.. NONE of these seems to allow me to configure for a wireless connection to share computer info or printers. Please note: I do have a Linksys wireless card installed and am able to connect to the internet via my wireless router,BUT I cannot find my other XP computer that has sharing for some folders and printer activated. Please help!
Thanks in advance!!!

BSmith134 offer of web address: forums.practicallynetworked.com/archive/index.php/t-168.html was somewhat helpful. However I don't understand many of the abreviations in the article from Greenstead, such as NetBT = Netbios over TCP/IP. Is this different from having TCP/IP installed? What does it mean to have network shares defined directly under C: ? Also, How do I make sure that all NICS (please define) are on the same subnet? Also, All NICs have therir node type = broadcast or hybrid?? (How do I check with Ipconfig/all? Also; What is an ICF firewall? Thanks for the extra help!
