I have a destop and a laptop, both running WindowsXP, connected through a D-Link DI-704UP router.

I have gone through the steps in the Wizard to link the two, although I don't KNOW how to VERIFY that things are OK.

Now that I have gone this far, how do I actually go about transferring a file from one to the other?

Thank you for any help. 1. Go to 'My Computer' and click on 'Shared Documents'
2. Copy any FILES you wish to share with the other computer on to this folder
3. Now on the other computer, go to 'Start' and click on 'My Network Places'
4. Browse through the possible network places (icons) until you manage to find the first computer (with the files on).
3. Copy and PASTE files from that computer's shared folder on to the computer you are on.
Ok that is a way but here is a better one.
1) Make sure that both computers are in the same domain or workgroup
(Press the winkey+pause BREAK-> computername)
2) Go to the folder that you want to share
3) right click on it and go to the properties
4) go to the sharing tap and share the folder
5) go to the my network places of the other computer and in the right bar you have an option to view workgroup computers click on it and then you will see the both computers
(Make sure they are both turned on)
Let me know if it worked or if you had any problems with this.
