Hi,

I'm a relative newcomer to home Networking and need a bit of direction.

I have a Belkin wireless Router giving my Broadband connection.

I have two PC's running XP Home Edition.

PC One I have a cable connection direct to the Router
PC Two I have a Netgear Wireless PCI Adapter connecting to the Router

I am having no troubles with both PC's connecting to the Internet.

I would like to setup the PC's for file and print sharing.
Running the Network Set-up wizard on PC One it all looks OK - it can see PC Two but wont connect.
When I run the Network Set-up Wizard on PC Two I have no luck viewing any Network connections.
On PC Two I tried to bridge the Wireless and Internet Connections (There is an internal Ethernet card installed) but because there is not connection it see's it as an error.

Hopefully this all makes sense and someone can shed a bit of light onto this issue for me..

Rgds,

TLC

check if the file and print sharing of both computers is enable. you will see this configuration under the network configuration properties.
