wireless connection PC to PC

[tonybx]

I have set up a wireless network for my desktop PC running XP & my laptop running Vista. How can I make a wireless connection between the two computers so that I can view & exchange files etc. Also access the printer from both computers
I have tried Help screens without success
Thanks in advance

Referring to my "Windows Vista Inside Out" book, on your laptop you need to set up an Ad Hoc (computer to computer) network first, using the Network and Sharing Centre in control panel.

You then need to share the relevant folders on your laptop and PC.

Then connect to the Ad Hoc network from your XP PC the same way you connect to any wireless network.

If the printer is attached to your PC, you need to share this as well.

Hope this helps.
