Need Sharing (Computer) Help fast
How in the world do you sucessfully share a printer and files on a workgroup? I have the workgroup names inputed into the desktop and laptop, then I also set permissions for sharing as well. What am I missing?

Make sure everyone is on the same workgroup. Enabling the printer sharing is a no-brainer, and make sure there is nothing on the router that is preventing access (if you are running a router).
What OS'* are you using?

You said it'* wireless correct? In that case, it might not be getting a signal, or it'* not pulling an IP address. You could try restarting the computer, or renewing the IP address, or trying to fix the signal if it'* bad.
