I installed a DLink wireless router on my desktop (XP Home) hooked up via a cable modem. The laptop (XP Pro) can access the web successfully.

How do I set up the file / printer sharing ?

I can ping the laptop from the desktop successfully but not vice versa. This happens despite shutting down all firewalls (Zone Alarm and XP) on the desktop.

Thanks in advance
