Laptop Problem

'v got a wirless network set up and my laptop connects to it fine, but when I try to add it to the actual network (as in file sharing network) I have a problem.

As soon as I launch the network set up wizard I get this :

"Cannot complete the network setup wizard.

The wizard detected that this computer belongs to a domain, therefore you cannot use this wizard to set up a network".

The laptop already has a vpn connection set up, could this be the problem?

Please help me as I can't print from the laptop wirlessley. The printer doesn't have a print server but is shared from my host computer which therefore acts as a server. Printing wirlessley from my other computer works fine so therefore its not a router problem just a laptop one.
 
you should probably post this in the networking or laptop section.....maybe someone could help you there.
 
Well what operating systems are you running on both the laptop and desktop? Also I probably wouldnt need to use the wizard, if you say you can connect fine to the network, try doing a search and see if you can see the other computer. If you can and can't connect to it, you may have to set up a user on that one (that's why I asked about you OS). Also, try installing the netbeui or IPX/SPX/Netbios protocal in the network properties. Same area where you can find your tcp/ip settitngs. The windows operating system doesn't install this by default (only tcp/ip). Most home networks/routers work better with this installed.
