    What exactly do you plan on doing... and that is a very important distinction to make first.

    I want to share documents and pictures from my desktop with my laptop. I will add a wireless printer also.I do genealogy research.

    If you allow for file sharing on both machines then you can let your network do all the work and you can share files between the two. Also, once you setup the printer on one of the machines you can set it to be used by all network devices.

    Let me know if you need help setting this up. (I have a laptop with Win7, Vista and XP so I can give you step by step)

    Thanks ITStudent2006 that sounds pretty simple to me. I think I can do that.

    Sorry for being chaotic. You are correct about only trying to share the printer.
