How do I share files and Printer

I install a linksys 4 port router to my dsl and it works great for internet sharing. Is there something else I need to share files and printers. I set both computers for file sharing but they can't see each other. So all I have is internet sharing. Do I need another device like a network hub???? Thanks

Hi,
You shouldn't need anything else for file/print sharing. I also have a linksys router, and sometimes searching for the other computer on the network works. Another thing, make sure file/print sharing is enabled on both computers... other than that, I can't think of anything. Good luck!
P.S. Some network cards are slow, so wait a bit in network neighborhood (also, press F5 to refresh).
