Wired, wireless and networking

I just hooked up a wired desktop and a wireless laptop. Both can access the
internet with no problem. I cannot however see either computer in my network
places. Do I need to run the network wizard? If so which one, wireless or
wired? Since I have both I am not sure which one to run. I am looking to
print and file share.
Thank you,
Aroski

*Assuming* that both computers are connected to the same router, see
