Can I create a network to share files between my two desktops? Here is what I am working with.

PC#1 Windows XP Home edition, plugged into Linksys Wireless router.

PC#2 Windows XP pro edition, connected to the same Linksys routerwireless router through wireless card.

Can I set these up to share files with what I have through the router?

Do I need to connect them some other way?
 
Alright...how do I get them to see each other? I need dummy instructions here! I never set up a network before but I am not computer illiterate as I managed to set up my secured wireless and both PC's have internet.

I have filesharing turned on on both PC's but I heard somewhere they both must have the same workgroup name or something like that?

I need to set this up so both PC's can use one printer and see each others files.
 
Alright I figured it out! However I run CMD and type NET VIEW I can see both PC's on both PC's I can access files from the XP pro PC with the XP home PC but I cant access files from the XP home PC with the XP pro PC...what gives? They see each other!
