Hey, I got my wireless access point and PCI adapter for my two computers, now how do I file share? The new computer with Win 2000 is the one with the wireless PCI card, so my question is, how do I set up the network? I have the ability to share internet, but that's it. The old computer has Win 98, but I don't have the foggiest idea of how to create the actual LAN.

Ed, using the Win98 machine, can you see the Win2k box? Make sure the workgroup/domain is exactly the same (I think it may be case sensitive!). Next, you need to install File/Printer sharing, it's not installed on either OS by default.

Sorry for the late reply. I kinda went and junked around in my network properties on the win 98 computer, and ended up junking the whole internet, I had to restore the registry from a few days ago to fix that problem. But anyways, in my work group on the win 98 computer, I can see the workgroup, but can't access it. On the win 2k workgroup, I can access it, but it only detects this computer. Oh, if you post any advice, please give the directions on where to access the information, as I may be looking at the wrong thing. Thanks
