I am pulling my hair out!
I simply want to make a wireless network between my Mac desktop to my Laptop running Vista to share files and use the Mac's printer etc.
I think the problem is from Vista's end. I can see the icon for the Mac computer on Vista. I click on it to explore or whatever and it asks for a name and password. I type in my Mac name & password but it doesn't recognise it.
I even set up a new user on the Mac to try that, but it didn't work.
One forum said to open the Local Security Policy in Vista and do something there, but the version of Vista I have (must be home/basic or something) doesn't have it.So now what...?
I need simple step by step guides if anyone can help.
I'd be so appreciative...Thanks in advance.

See the apple site for (I think) airport or something like that.
