I have a windows xp desktop which is connected to a wireless dlink router via an ethernet cable, which in turn is connected to the internet via a cable to the broadband modem. My toshiba laptop (Vista) is connected wirelessly to the dlink router and i can access the internet wirelessly on my laptop.
What i want to do is connect my laptop to my desktop, wirelessly via my dlink router, so that i can share files.

Ive set up a network on my xp with network wizzard and made a workgroup, Followed similar steps on vista. I turned on file and printer sharing on both and tuned off both firewalls.

I can see and access my laptop files from the desktop. But my laptop still doesn't see my desktop??? All my laptop recognizes in the workgroup is itself "laptop" even when opening "laptop" it says its not accessible. What am i doing wrong?

you need to assign whatever directories you want to share as such... but don't just expose the whole C drive or you will leave your entire network wide open to hijacking.

Right click and it's something like "share this"
