Trying to share my winXP machine Music files with another computer running 2000

Hi again! We have three computers connected to the internet through a wireless router. My computer is running WinXP. The Host computer is running WinXP. The computer I am trying to share files with is running win2000. I tried the network setup wizard but unfortunately it only supports 98 ME and XP. No 2000 support. What do I do to get the 2000 comp to access my files on the winXP comp? I am an extreme novice with networking so please bear with me. Any info will greatly help though! TIA

On edit: we are using cable internet, router model is D-Link DI-524 and I assume we are using ICS. And also, my comp does not come up on the networked computers. Just the host and the win2000 machines. I am using Network Adapter D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G510 Wireless PCI Adapter(rev.B)

Hello rod1977,

It isn't necessary to run the Network Setup Wizard. You can do it manually. Since you have a wireless router, and you configure your machine to automatically receive an ip address from the DHCP server, you should be able to get an address from your router.

It very well could be that your machine isn't in the same workgroup. Can you access the other computer by ip address? To do so, click Start, Run, type \\192.168.x.x (whatever your ip address is).
