Hello to everybody;

I have a laptop with windows XP Pro and have been trying that my desktop PC with Vista Home can see it.
MY Components:
-Desktop PC with Vista Home (Main PC, connected to Internet with Ethernet to a Linksys Wireless Router B and G).
-Get internet thru cable TV (broadband),from this cable modem plugs to router and from router to PC Vista(desktop)
-Linksys Wireless G/B Router
-G-Card for my Laptop Windows XP Pro and
-Playstation 3 capable of sharing info and use printer

At the moment all of them have internet w different IP's (000.000.0.001, 000.000.0.002,etc.). What I want to achieve is that I can use the Printer that is connected via USB to my PC Vista (desktop) and share files. Right now the only thing been able to do is that my PC Vista see my Laptop but Can't find my PC on my laptop. Anybody, Help?
-When I turn On my media sharing in my PS3, my internet on Laptop loses it while PS3 search and find,then, because laptop lost wireless,the PS3 looses the laptop and I get wireless back. I knowis a stupid setting but tired of workin back n forth. Thanks

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 7.0
Wndows Vista
Wireless G Router
Wireless Card
Playstation 3

Hi first you have to change to a work group . Type in google change work group and you sould be ok.

Then if you are using a router with a firewall then turn off (windows firewall or any other firewalls on your pc's ) you will then see both pc & laptop and printer this is the most common thing.

With ref to ps3 you need to open window media player in sharing tick the box move all your movies and music files in to your ( public folders ) on your computer as it can only see them and stream them to your ps3.

If you right click a file you will see share tick this and it,s shared whith anyone on you network and your other computer.

Just be aware that when you restart your computers the firewall will come back on in some programs such as norton 360 2.0 or lower so you need to turn it back off.

Hope this has helped.

Forgot to tell you that the ip address are no ip's they are the computers on your network first might be you pc and number 2 may be you laptop which ever got on the net first. The pc3 will be number three if you use a wireless router for it to get on the internet.
