    Hi guys, i am a pretty smart guy as far as pc's are concerned, but one thing i have never been too knowledgeable about is networking 2 pc's. i now have a wireless laptop, and i want to most importantly be able to print from my wireless laptop, wirelessly which is hooked up currently to my desktop, and also be able to access my files on my desktop. sorry for it being kind've a noobish question, but i have tried to figure it out on my own and it just isnt making sense. my router is unsecured, just because i dont have to worry about my security, and i am using vista on both pc's. anyone know of a good guide or would be willing to walk me through it would really make my day. thanks.

    ok so after messing around all day i have gotten to this point, both pc's are in the same work group, and when i am in the network sharing center, and i click on view full map i can see both pcs, but when i look at my network i can only see that pc that i am currently on? so i dont understand why i cant see my other pc in the network? i even disabled all of my firewalls and i am still getting the same results.
