Is it possible to create a wireless network that shares files, printers, etc. without a wireless card in my desktop computer? Scenario - Wireless rounter hard wired to the desktop (through port 4 on the router) and a laptop with a wireless card. I have access to the Internet through both of the computers but have been unsuccessful in my attempts to create a "network". Any ideas?

Short answer is yes. It should be a piece of cake. Need more info to help further.

OS on each PC?
Workgroup same on each PC?
File and printer sharing enabled?
Netbios over TCP/IP (default setting for XP) enabled?
