Network Setup Wizard won't run

I recently set up a wireless network in my house (Linksys)
and almost everything runs smoothly. One computer is
connected to the network by a network adapter (Windows XP
OS), and the other is connected to the router directly,
with an ethernet cable (Windows XP OS also). The problem I
am having is that the computer that is hooked into the
router via ethernet cable refuses to run Network Setup
Wizard (I want to share folders and files on the network) I
tried launching the wizard from the full version of Windows
XP Home edition; I get a message saying that files will be
installed in order to run the wizard, unless I have Windows
XP installed already, in which case the wizard would run
immediately. I click yes, and I see some files being
extracted, then once that finishes, nothing happens. I try
to run netsetup.exe, but that gives me the same message.
The Network Setup Wizard works fine on the computer using
the network adapter to get onto the network. My hardware is
set up correctly, from what I can tell, as this is the only
problem I am having.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

If this computer is hard wired you don't need the network setup wizard. If you want to share files just make sure each computer has the same workgroup name and right click on the folder you want to share and choose share. The rest should be self explanitory.
