hey!
This is probably a easy problem for u guys. I got a desktop and a laptop, both running xp and a access point which both are connected to via wireless 802.11g things for internet. And i would like to transfer files between the two. What are the easiest way to do this?

assuming you can ping each other, yo umay just need to enable windows file sharing. This step by step may help,

yeah tanx very helpful guide. It gave me the answers but then i got a new problemo. I found that the wireless connection provided quite a slow file transfer. a file around 700 megs takes 15/20 min. so then i wonder can i use a crossover cable and still be connected to the internet via the accesspoint. The accesspoint assigns the ips 192.168.1.34 and 192.168.1.36. Tried to assign some other addys for the crossover conn but cant ping and lost internet... whats the solution???

The slowness may be due to firewalls and virus scanners. Unhook the modem cable and disable them and see what happens.
