How to setup home networking (file/printer sharing) through wireless router ?

Hi

I am using Sky Broadband and hence their provided wireless router to connect internet. I have two laptops (acer 5633wlmi windows xp pro and lenovo n200 vista ultimate).

I connect using Netgear DG834GT router to internet from both laptops.

I also want to share files n printer through this router as Wireless Home Networking.

Plz tell me how to connect both laptops through router for sharing.
What changes needs to be made.

How to set permissions for sharing n accessing files and access computers.

Windows XP Pro & Windows Vista Ultimate.

Thanks,

Plz note DHCP is enabled at Router.

This netgear router is limited to Sky United Kingdom. Thanks.

In addition, if you are using additional or built in firewalls, you may need to initially turn thrm off until all is working., and then turn back on and open any ports that may need to allow data transfers/ sharing.

I hope this helps !

Question... Is this one of those ISP provided Modem/Router all in one jobs???

Our warehouse uses Verizon DSL and that is what they gave us though
not wireless.. It is a DSL Modem that also has four ports in the back and
acts like a router.
