Wireless Network - Cannot Share Folders or Printer - Why?

[gmskelton]

1st PC - Windows Vista
2nd PC - Windows XP
Network stuff - Belkin wireless-g router connected to the XP PC,
Belkin network card in Vista PC

Issue:

Just installed everything I thought I needed for a wireless home
network and it connected to the internet fine (I can surf on both
computers).

However, what I really wanted t do was to:

1) Share files/folders etc
2) Share a printer (currently got a Canon Multi-function laser printer
connected to the XP PC as a normal non-network printer)

I cannot for the life of me get these two items above to happen. Any
ideas greatly appreciated.

Are they of the same worksgroup?
Is Windows File & print sharing active for your network device?
