i have just recently setup a new wireless network in my home and everything works great. i have a win98 machine that is wired to a netgear wireless g router and an xp pro laptop connected wirelessly. ive got files on the win98 machine that i want to be able to transfer to the xp pro machine. i have been trying for hours on end to figure out how to get them to network together and do file sharing. if any one knows how to do this or has any suggestions your reply would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Hi

You need to enable file and print sharing.

When setting up file sharing ensure you only "share" the folders you need to share.
