Wireless Home Network

Hi,
I am trying to create a wireless home network between a laptop and two
desktops (main, children). My desktop can 'see' the laptop, but the laptop
cannot see the desktop. How do I fix this?

Both use fully updated versions of Windows XP, but the desktop's is a little
newer, if that matters.

We have a Linksys router connected by cable to the desktop and wirelessly to
the laptop. The printer is accessed through the desktop, to which it is
attached by cable.

I tried to create the 'Wireless' network, but that did not work at all.

I use EZ Firewall and EZ Anti-Virus supplied by Road-Runner/Time-Warner.

Thanks.

Make sure Windows firewall is disabled. Make sure your EZ firewall is
configured to allow file sharing.
