Problems sharing files on wireless d-link

[jeffm53]

Hello Everyone! I am new to this board so bare with me while I try and explain my problem.

I have a D-link wireless router and d-link wireless pci card. The two computers seem to connect to the router properly, figured that because I can change the router settings from both computers but anyways. I want to set up file sharing but the two computer dont seem to want to "talk" to each other. I was wondering if there is any configurating I have to do possibly with the TCP/IP. I am running windows xp on both systems. Thanks in advance

Regards, Jeff

Put them in the same workgroup to make things easier and share folders/drives.

Are you running Windows XP Home ?

I've had problems with XP Home before, can get online and everything just cannot share the files. Didn't figure out what was the problem but no problems with XP Pro though.

Make sure when you set up the network, you select the gateway selection.

Yeah I have windows xp pro and was wondering if someone could give me some pretty detailed steps as to how to set it up?

 

[amdskip]

right click on hard drive you wish to share, select sharing and security, set up sharing of the drive there.
