I have a linkys 802.11b wireless router, an laptop with an internetal 802.11g wireless card, and a desktop with a integrated 10/100 ethernet card. I have the desktop hooked up with a cable to the router and the laptop wirelessly connect to the router. the router conencts my cable modem. I have no problem accessing the internet on either of the computers. My problem is that i can not connect the computers together. i am trying to use the printer connecting to the desktop for printer sharing and i can not find it when i try to install it. I can not use file share or ping the other computer in either direction(desktop to laptop nor laptop to desktop) thanks for any help
