Do i have to run the wizard? i tried it on the laptop connecting to the internet through another computer, but it is saying that the network cable is unplugged. thats where its getting me, because it is over a wireless connection! is there a cetain wizard to enable file share over a wireless connection, or am i barking up the wrong oak?????

Cheers again for all your quick replys

Chris.
Does your laptop have wired and wireless networking, the cable unplugged, is that an error on the wired or wireless connection.
If you can surf the net and ping then this is an error to ignore.
My laptop has Wired, Wireless and Bluetooth, on startup it complains that cables are unplugged on the wired and bluetooth!, and on the wireless until it negotiates the conection.

Have you tried searching for the other computer in windoze explorer. The search button at the top, then on the side instead of files or folders select computers, tell one to search for the other. Sometimes windows takes a while to discover other machines on the network.
