netgear wireless router DG834G

Hi. I have the above wirless router. I am not a networkin engineer.
But I do know that computers can be networked together. I am assuming
that this is a joint wirless modem and router combination. I have 2
PCs connected (via a cable) to the router and can surf the internet on
both. Can I network the 2 PCs so that I can see the contents of the
other PC.

Ok thanks for this. This would be a great help. I am not a network
guy. Both PCs are on Win XP Po. I right click on a folder and get.

Don't bother using the wizard. Just go to Control Panel, Windows
Firewall and make sure File and Printer Sharing is added to the list of
exceptions.

I have checked firewall settings and folder and printer is checked on
both PCs.
Microsoft help tells me to go to Computer managment Shared folders
Shares. Then New file share on the Action menu. I dont have this menu
item.

Uninstall ZoneAlarm.. you don't need it. That router has a pretty good
firewall built in, which unless you've deliberately disabled it, is more
than good enough.

Once ZA is disabled and you've enabled File sharing in XP, you'll be up and
running.

For first-time users, the Network Wizard is the best way to start
networking. You configure the host PC under WinXP Pro, then
create a floppy to do the other PC automatically. This works.

For test purposes, on each PC select (highlight) one folder,
then Right Click for /Properties, then select to Share this
(with no password.) When you see the PCA test folder from
PCB (and vice versa) you can add Sharing for other folders
to suit your convenience.

On the microsoft.public NGs for networking you are likely to
find more specific answers to your questions e.g. see

I have disabled Zone alarm and file simple file sharing is enabled
(Folder options view). Should there be something in My computer to
add a remote drive w x or y ?
