Hi,

I have one laptop with XP pro and a desktop of xp home edition at home.
Both them have wireless connection to internet thru a wireless router that
is connected to a cable modem. Can I make them to share files? I ran the
network wizard but it did not give me this type configuration. Both pcs
have WORKGROUP as the workgroup's name.

Thank you very much.

Run the Wizard again and tell it that both computers connect to the
Internet through a residential gateway -- that's what the Wizard calls
your wireless router. It should set everything up properly for
sharing.
