Hello, I have just installed a bigpond wireless gateway for my pc(ethernet) and my laptop(D-Link USB wireless adapter).

Now both can access internet. thank god!!!

But i want to access computer to computer. peer to peer(is that what its called?)

what am i doing wrong.

I have allowed file sharing in the Networks and sharing centre on my Desktop(vista) and i've right clicked shared files on the laptop(XP)

Im obviously missing a step, can any body point me in the right direction for this problem.

THanks Beck
 
First of all which computer is going to be the one that's sharing? Double check the spelling and pathing for the shared file on both sides.

Also you need a crossover cable if you are going to directly link two computers.
