Trying to network XP SP3 with Windows 7

[Kyle]

I have been trying for the last two days to set up a network for my
computers. My desktop is running Windows XP SP3 with a Belkin N wireless
router. My laptop is running Windows 7 home premium. I've read through all
kinds of post and tutorials and still can't figure out how to do it. I'm able
to get the wireless internet on the laptop but not file sharing. I'm also
using Norton 360. I've run the network setup and i just don't know what the
hell I'm doing.

Some description of what you've done and what happens would be helpful,
including the *complete* text of any error messages.

A likely reason for your problems is Norton 360. Which computer is it on?
