"edgeless network" question

[Eleanor]

I have recently set up a wireless internet connection for
my desktop and laptop through a router. Both systems are
running Windows XP. The router is connected to my
broadband modem and both systems access the internet
wirelessly.
My question concerns setting up file and print sharing
between the laptop and desktop. The Network Connection
Wizard in XP asks for a host computer, which is supposed
to be the computer in the network which has the main
connection to the Internet. Since both the desktop and
laptop connect to the Internet through the router I'm not
sure what to do. Is there a different Network Wizard
that I should be using for my network scenario.
Thank you for any help that you can provide.

You don't have an edgeless network.

Tell the wizard you have a 'Residential Gateway'.
That's XP-speak for a router.
