Just changed to a new broadband supplier who insisted I replace my existing
wireless router with theirs. Problem is that although I can access the
internet from both my Laptop and my Desktop machines (both wireless) I cannot
get file or print sharing to work over the network. I've been through the
microsoft "How to trouble shoot wireless network connections.." and "Setup a
wireless network" step by step guides (along with a couple of others) -
everything seems to be setup correctly. I've even added the MAC addresses to
the router as trusted sources. Can anyone suggest anything else to try?
Does the wireless connectiopn icon actually have the 'file and print
sharing' protocol installed? Rightclick the wireless connectoid in the
Network Connections folder, then Properties. (see the check placed on the
protocol, or 'Add' it.)

Well, that's one step toward defining the problem. Have you considered adding
more info to that, you know, for those who might wish to actually help you
define the issue? :/
