Network Setup Wizard not responding

[Guest]

Have run Network Setup Wizard so may times to try and resolve home network
setup troubles that is has stopped responding and finishing off task.. Any
ideas??

Also having set up home network which includes PC (host) and wireless
laptop, both machines are listed on each others workgroup properties and can
both access the Internet but cannot access each other's files, I have enabled
file and printer sharing on both.

Any help appreciated

It depends. One of the machine (or both) are probably Pro edition. Homes would work like that by default. Unless you are using
another OS, (like win9x), the problem is probably in unchecking 'simple file sharing' and then not explicitly sharing a folder.

With win9x machines connected to XP, you can create identical user ID/pass on both systems to gain access.
