I have a laptop that runs on windows 2000 professional, a desktop
running on windows XP professional. the desktop is connected to a
belkin wireless router. the laptop gets on the internet via wifi
without a problem. I cant use the network setup function on XP to set
up a shared drive and shared printer. Does anyone know what the best
way to do this is?

many thanks

You can make any necessary changes to the Windows 2000 computer, using the
Network Connection Properties wizard.
