File and printer shareing......

[DD]

I have two computers that share the internet via a router and switch. I
want each computer to be able to share some files and the other's
printer. Can I use the XP Wizard to set up the network?

Yes. Tell the Wizard that the computers connect to the Internet
through a "residential gateway", which is what it calls your router.
