Setting up a wireless network- to share files

Guest

I have a BTVOYAGER2100 router aswell as various laptop wireless adaptor's and
Belkin devices. My two desktop PC's and two laptops all can connect
successfully to the wireless internet. But I'm having difficulity setting up
the wireless network so that all PC's can share files and gain access to the
printer.
I have run the wireless wizard but it asks me for for USB flash disk (which
I don't have) and if I run it manually - it displays an error message. I have
gone through everything on microsoft website- no good advise. Any ideas?
Thanks

You should have Windows Firewall (or ICF) enabled only on the PC that's
directly connected to the internet. On all the other PCs, you should
disable the firewall for the LAN connection. The inability to share files
and network between PCs is most frequently caused by a firewall setting (or
a NIS configuration if you're running Norton).
