There are to many ways but you can use for example the remote destop application that is built-in in Windows based computers to share resources between 2 computers, and even totally control 1 remote computer:

See this link: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsXp/using/mobility/getstarted­/Remoteintro.mspx

For the remote printing, do you have to set up the printer sharing first and after that connect to the printer in the side where you are, that is different from where the printer is located, follow this link: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/expert/h­oneycutt_july2.mspx

Excuse me for any writing error, I speak Spanish.

Just click the wireless function key...sometimes it's shortcut key like fnc key + f2....to activate your laptop wirlesss,,,e mail me if you have question..ayt???

If you connect internt through wirless router then it's possible to share desktop files and laptop files. first make sure you have same workgroup on both computers. then ping each computer. if it success then share the files or folders you want to share. that's it... sure for my language... if question don't hestitate to email me ok bye

The way I have done this is simply sharing the desktop hard drive to say 2 users or so.
Now when you want to see the desktop from the lap top; get the desktop IP address and connect as a network drive as follows:
\\10.x.x.x\c$desktop

and give the user name and password.

Once you are done; then connect to the printer onto the desktop via Printers etc... remember you need to give the IP address and the printer name.

Some OS require you to download the printer drivers. this is sharing.

I hope this helps.

It all depends on what operating system you are running. This goes for mostly all the OS from 98 to XP.

To share files, you just need to create a folder anywhere on your desktop and give it a name. Then you right click it and go to "Sharing" or "Sharing and Security". You just ask it to share and make sure you click on the "Allow other users to make changes" so that you can change the files on that folder from your laptop computer.

You can do the same for the printer. Go to Control Panel, Printers and right click on the printer you are trying to share and ask it to "Share".

Then you go to the laptop and open up "My Computer" type in the desktops ip address as such (192.168.1.101) and this will open the desktop computer if you have any folders or files that are set to share. Make sure your firewalls are turned off for both your OS and your antivirus. You will then see the printer on there. You just need to double click the printer and if it asks you to download the drivers from the internet just say "yes" or "ok". You should also be able to access the folder you set to share on your desktop and should be able to make changes. I have set up these types of networking for many businesses and homes so they definately work. If not just send me a personal e-mail and I will be happy to assist you.

I just got a new laptop and my home computer has wireless internet but I don't know how to connect the home computer internet to my laptop and share the wireless broadband soo i guess my question is how did you do it? email me to tell me please!!! =D

I don't know how to share files ether, but try wireless network setup wizard in control panel. It connects 2 computers together, but I've seen you have to change your computer names to share files. You have to make the names the same to share files. Did that help?

One mistake and nothing works at all ,,, this program does it all for you with little effort at understanding instructions.

I now have total WIRELESS! access to all files on all 3 of my computers (2 desktops & laptop),,,plus all my computers can access my printer. My printer is just a basic non-USB All-in-One. It is well worth the money. All future upgrades are free. Free for seven days,if you don't like it uninstall it. Hope you try it you'll love it.It was ,,Like,, instant,,,,,,,,YES!!!
