Getting Networked

[reenby]

Hi, I just go my vaio for chistmas, and naturally wanted to get online but also to see the file system and printer of my desktop.

Went to PC world and was assured that I needed a netgear router. Attached router to broadband and desktop, switched wireless on laptop and bingo can now see internet.

However I cannot figure out how to get desktop and notebook to see each other. Any pointers would be gratefully received

Merry xmas and happy new year

Just to let everyone know that I can now swap file between my desktop ( connected via cable to router) and my vaio (over wireless network)

The key seemed to be tell Norton to trust the other computer on both, and add a network place to the shared folders. I also shared the printer and once Norton firewall was happy I can now use printer from laptop.

Many thanks for all your help - what a great forum!!
