Yeh just run the wizard, go to control panel and run network setup wizard. When it asks just finish it, then go to the next machine and do the same. Make sure the workgroup name you choose is the same on both!. You will have to restart both machines. When there back on just right click what folders you wish to share and go on sharing and security. If the screen doesnt show then click the option in front "If you understand..."... Then tick the "share this folder on the network" box. And tick the box underneath if you wish. Do this on both machine on any folders you wish to share. Know go to "My network places" on the start bar (deafult.) From there on its very simple. If you do all this and it does not work you may need to check your firewall settings. If your running windows firewall it should set itself for you.
If you need any help just w.b

Did the laptop disconnect aswell? i have the same router, and always had different problems with the linksys firmware, so i use 'DD-WRT' know. Not disconnected once since then. My TV and Internet went down yesterday for about an hour, 1st time its ever happened aswell.
