I have just bought a Notebook with vista pre loaded and have managed to set up my wireless router (netgear) for internet connection. I have also added a W-LAN card to my desktop PC (running XP home) which also connects to the internet without a problem.
Now that I can connect to the internet via my wireless router i would like to file and printer share (printer connected to desktop pc). I have managed to get file/printer sharing on my notebook, but I am unable to view my notebook's shared folders on my desk top.
On both PC's I am using the WIndows firewall, although on looking at the exceptions tab on my desktop I can't find a "Network Discovery" check box. Do you think that this could be the problem?? and if so how do I solve it??
Many thanks
Nick
