Problem with Wireless Network

[Justorq]

Hey people, just got my new computer and my new wireless router... everything is running great, I could share the internet with both comps I have. The only problem is that I can't seem to be able to share my files between both my computers. So that you get an idea of how my network works exactly, the wireless router and access point is connected to my DSL modem... one of my comps is connected to the router and the other one is wireless...
I already tried some things like right clicking on my hard drive and on sharing ... but it doesnt work...
Another thing, one of my comps is running Win2k while the other one is running winXP. The one running 2000 is actually able to see the other one in network neighbourhood, but every time I try to go in it, it just freezes. The computer running XP isn't even able to see the other computer.
I just find it weird that im able to share the internet, but not some files.
Any help would be appreciated...
thx
Justin

PS : I have the Linksys Wireless Router (the 11mbps one) and as you can see, im very new to this ...

I noticed that if you have different usernames on each computer gives that problem. Like if you name your computers the same thing for the user accounts, then it will allow you in since the user settings sees you as the same user. Other than that I think you have to enable a user account for the name of the computer that is trying to connect to the other. If that makes sense. Like I said first easiet thing is to go to control panel and for user accounts make them the same for each. Then see if you can access files.

For the purpose of the initial setting, disable all software Firewall (including WinXP native
ICF); disable any active Virus scan or any other utility that might intercept Network Traffic.
