Yes file sharing and printer sharing is enabled. I am running DSL and have a linksys router. 3 computers on network alltogether and the other 2 pcs can talk to each other fine on the network only the laptop has a problem. I ran ipconfig/all

I had everything running fine about a month ago with the laptop.
