Networking problem... pls help!!!?

i have two computers (a laptop & a desktop). Both of them are connected to the same linksys router and are able to go online wireless. (i.e. none of the computers are connected to the router/modem.) However, i can't connect the 2 computers to each other. I would like to access one pc with the other and vice versa. (i.e. share files between the 2 computers.)

I have tried the windows help - walkthrough. I have tried the the "wireless network wizard", the "network connection wizard" and the "set up a home or small office network" as well. But it doesn't seem to work. Plz help..

First, make sure that both computers have no firewall enabled. I would assume that you have set up your wireless router securely - i.e. with a complex password.
Go to Explorer (Right click Start - Explore) click your network places to see if you can see the other computer.
If not - go to Start - My Computer - My network connections - view network connections. Right click the network connection - choose "properties" - make sure "file and printer sharing" is checked. Do this on both computers - restart. This should put you in business.
