I now have verizon high speed dsl starter plan. I have 2 computers, one is connected to the wireless router via ethernet cable and the other is connected to the network wirelessly. The wireless one is a desktop with a wireless network adapter. It has an all-in-one printer connected to it. How can i share files and the printer between these two computers? I know I can call verizon and ask them but I don't want to call them now.
Here are some of the specifications of the computers:
Wired Computer:
Intel Pentium 3 733MHz processor
Windows 2000 Pro SP4
254MB SDRAM
10gig hard drive
Wireless Computer:
Intel Pentium 4 2GHz processor
Windows XP SP2
255MB DDR RAM
75gig hard drive

If I use the Network Setup wizard, will it let me share files between the computers on the network even if one is wireless?

You need to set up a home network. It's not difficult at all. Open the Control Panel and click "Network Setup Wizard". It will walk you through the process. While setting up the network, you will want to setup "Printer Sharing" also. The wizard will walk you through that too.

your best bet is not to take anyone's answer unless they are representing or work for verizon. give them a quick call and in two or three minutes you will be told all you need to know.My sister in the states says they are very good. It ain't going to cost you no more money per month or any thing like that

You need a multiport Wireless b/g Router, and the rest is a cakewalk follow the directions that come with the router.
