Can't share my wireless notebook folder

How do I get this to work? I'm running Windows XP Home on my main desktop computer and my wireless notebook.

Both computers are connected ok to the internet. I can ping both computers. I even enabled sharing of my printer.

But I can't figure out how to share my wireless notebook folder with my desktop computer. My notebook computer is listed as a workgroup in My network places on my desktop.

What I can't figure out is when I right click on the notebook folder I want to share under 'Network sharing and Security' here are no check boxes. It will only allow me to run the Network setup wizard or to share files without running the wizard.

But when I run the wizard it does not let me choose my wireless connection. It only shows my disconnected Ethernet Controller.

Help
 
Never mind. I finally decided to share files without running the wizard. That allowed me to select sharing.
