I'm tring to setup a network in my house with the main box has XP Home and my
laptop has 2000 pro. I have a D-Link wirless router and I can get internet
connection but I can't seem to access any shared printers or folders. I have
tried to go through work groupsd but that hasn't work does anyone know how I
can get this to work?

Hi
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what is allowed
to be shared.
