    I have two computers which i wish to connect via wireless Network.

    My home PC has Windows 2000 Pro with a USB Adapter 54g fitted and installed.

    My Laptop Has Windows XP home with inbuilt wireless (HP Pavillion 6000 Series) try as I might they wont talk to one another,although they can each see the other wireless is in range.

    I have installed shares on Drives and printers but nothing happens! Can anyone give me some guidance.

    Many Thanks

    :(

    There are basically 2 modes for connecting with wireless. Infrastructure and ad-hoc.

    Infrastructer is when you want to connect to a wireless access point, like a wifi hotspot or your wireless router.

    Ad-hoc is when two devices want to connect to each other without an access point.

    You need to configure your pc and laptop to be in ad-hoc wireless mode. Small google on ad-hoc wireless setup or have a flick through the wireless manual that should have came with your equipment should have all, if not most, of the details you need.
