Im setting up a wireless connection, and i knows the connection is there, because the other computer (laptop) connected to it is connected to the internet. But the file sharing isnt working. Thats allright, i suppose, because i havent enabled it as such. Reason being, that when i try to install the file and printer sharing capability, it says i have to put in the cd with the.. umm.. information on it.

I think it could have something to do with the fact that the server computer has XP home edition, while the laptop has XP proffesional. Could it be? Do i have to install XP pro onto the server?

Also, it appears i have TWO appiances monitoring the connection. One looks like a windows version, the other is.. SoftAP. Last time i uninstalled SoftAP (because when its on, the XP connection monitor doesnt display any connections [and the tab that has the check box 'use windows to configure my wireless connection' isnt there to change it]).

Ive never done much/anything with servers and connections, any help is muchly obliged.

Thanks
