Well here is my problem. I have configured my xp system correctly ( the xp system is my desktop and it has the wireless router) i think it is configured correctly b/c another computer on my system is also running xp and it has acces to the shared files and can print.
However my laptop which is running 98se can't access the files. but oddley enough i can print on the printer that the xp machine is attached to from my laptop.

when i tried running the home network utility on the desktop, it tells me an error has occured and to either configure it mannualy or try again.
but the desk top can't see the shared folders on the laptop.

Oh the xp version is xp home.

Any ideas?
