      Hi!
      Recently i bought a new wireless router WRT310N and setup a wireless network for my laptop to use around in my house.
      Everything is good and my laptop is able to connect to the internet.

      Next i have my home PC wired to the wireless router and can also connect to the Internet.

      Now comes the question.
      How can i get my PC to share files with my laptop?

      Some systems specs on my PC and laptop

      Wireless Routher WTR310N
      Linksys Wireless-N Router (192.168.1.1)

      PC: (192.168.1.100)
      Running Windows XP Professional SP3
      Connected using LAN cable to the wireless router

      Laptop: (192.168.1.101)
      Running Windows Vista Business
      Connected using WIFI to the wireless router

      Both are on the same Workgroup. No domain involved.
      Both can ping router @ 192.168.1.1 but cannot ping each other @ 192.168.1.100 & 192.168.1.101

      LOL... I never got Vista and XP to share files. I tried a lot of solutions, but none worked.

      I give up...

      I shared a folder on XP and Vista had no problem accessing that folder. My folder was in the root directory.
