setting up secure file and print sharing over wifi

my network is running on a lynksys wireless g (v. 2.5) router with up to date firmware installed.

i have given both computers a name, run the network wizard on both. i have specified wich folders to share. but the computers don't "see" each other in my network places. why? the computers successfully ping to each other in the command function too.

why can't they recognize eachother? :frown:

what am i doing wrong? 😱

also, once i get the file and print sharing working properly, what is the best way to encrypt? should i use the router setting to encrypt or windows' network options? i need to encrypt because i won't like to enable the function so that i can modify files on one computer from the other.
 
when i posted this i didn't realize there was a category specifically for networking. i apologize; i'm very new to these forums. could a mod please move this there?
