I'm really hoping someone can explaine to me how i can do this please.
Right i have a Pc upstairs on Win xp connected to my Modem/Router (Netgear DG834G 54Mbps Wireless) Via ethernet cable.
I then have a M1530 Laptop on Win XP connected to my router via wireless.
Now i'm sure this can be done but how can i set things up so from the Laptop i can access my desktop computer and and download files from there or send files to it via the router?
I'm a complete newbie at this networking so i'd really like some help please t set up this home network.
Thank you.

If running firewall on the local pc's you will need to setup a rule to allow your subnet. I always recommend disabling FW if you have problems.
You need to turn on File and printer sharing. The select the folder/files you want to share. -
Ok thanks for the info just read up about file sharing i'm sure i've named my computer and laptop the same.
Is there a way i could change this?
Thanks. -

It's not the computer name that you need to change. It's you user id, used to login to the pc's. This is not required but it makes life a lot easier. For user groups, rt click on My Computer and select Properties > Computer Name. This will get you to the user groups. For User ID's that is through the Users CP. If you only use the shared folder it's not required.
