Right now I have a desktop connected to a Linksys WRT54G wireless router running XP and a IBM laptop using the linksys wireless card connecting to the same router. how can I transfer files from the Laptop on wireless to the desktop on the wired end?? Could someone lay it out for me step by step? the manual is useless!

Are you familiar with how to do it on a wired-only network? Because it works the exact same way. The wired/wireless connection is transparent to windows files sharing. Just share the folders, browse the network, copy/paste.

Yes and No.

Sharing is the same, but speed is the different.
If you have full signal on the wireless MAX speed is ~ 54mbps as to wire network is 100mbps. So if your IBM laptop have a built in NIC, you can easily plug it into the router and the files a very large I would suggest going wired.

yea use the ezlan link, and netbeui is good. in advanced network properties or wahtever u can set binds. bind net beui to file sharing. tcpip only to internet. works great. net beui doesn't do internet so file sharing is then secure... atleast to ur wireless range.
