Adding an Apple Powerbook to my network

I am running a PC with Windows XP Pro SP2. I recently attempted to set up a
network through my Wireless router with My PC and my wife's Apple powerbook.
We have set both of our computers to share files. She is able to access my
PC files, but I am unable to access her powerbook. Her computer does not
even show in my work groups. How do I add her powerbook to my list of work
groups so I can access her files. When I try "Add a Network Place", I get to
a point where it asks for a network address and I tried entering the
powerbooks Router IP address, but I get a message that this is not a valid
site.

Is this the place where I add her powerbook to my workgroups, and if so,
what info/format do I enter as the network address?

You need to turn on Windows Sharing on the Apple and create a user
account and password for yourself on the PowerBook that matches the one
on XP Pro.
