I have a linksys wap/router and have two desktops on the
wireless network. They both surf fine but I can't find
the correct .inf file to install the correct drivers for
file and printer sharing. Any help would be appreciated.

From the Help and Support page:

Open Network Connections.
Under LAN or High-Speed Internet, click Local Area Connection.
On the File menu, click Properties.
In the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box, click Install.
In the Select Network Component Type dialog box, click Service, and
then click Add.
In the Select Network Service dialog box, click on File and Printer
Sharing, and then click OK.

My editorial 2 cents:
Please understand that when you share resources across a network,
especially one connected by wireless, especially one connected to the
internet, there is increased risk from malware and hackers. I believe
your router provides a firewall, so make sure its configured properly.
