Here is my situation:

My DESKTOP machine is running Windows XP Pro SP1 with the Linksys WRT54G
router. I have a LAPTOP that is running Windows 2000, and I would like to
allow it to "connect" to my DESKTOP so that I can copy some files from it
onto my DESKTOP machine.

How do I do this?

The LAPTOP has a wireless card and I already have it setup to access the
internet without any problems.

1. Both machines must be in the same workgroup (see My Computer
Properties, ComputerName)
2. Both machines should have Print and File Sharing and Client for MS
Networks installed and TCP/IP set up with correct IP settings.
