My desk top running XP is hardwired to Linksys wireless adapter and cable
modem.  My laptop is wireless.  I can connect to internet and to laptop with
desktop.  I can connect to internet with laptop but not to desktop.  I want
to share printer that is hardwired to desktop.  Have done all the file and
printer sharing configurations but still no joy on printer sharing. HELP!

I would check the firewall first. Or this troubleshooting may help.

Networking 2 (or more) computers is frequently a challenge, and when you involve
WiFi connectivity, it can get more frustrating.  Some more detail about your

Or, we could look at logs from "browstat status", "ipconfig /all", "net config
server", and "net config workstation", from each computer, and diagnose the
problem.  Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions
precisely (download browstat!):
