Hello,
I'm a bit of a neophyte, so bear with me. I recently set up a wireless signal in my home. The Linksys Wireless G Broadband Router is hooked up to my desktop computer and a cable Internet modem.
My Internet connectivity is fine ... I'm hooked up and everything is great getting online via my wireless laptop.
What I'd like to do now, and I don't know how to accomplish, is to be able to share files back and forth between the desktop and the laptop. My desktop is my main work computer, so I find myself running between them with a thumb drive swapping files back and forth.
I'd also love to be able to print from the wireless laptop ... my printer is currently hooked up directly to my desktop.
I know these steps are possible. I just don't know how to do it. Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0
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:

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.

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