Setting up a home network

I am having trouble setting up a wireless home network. I have set up my
Linksys router just fine, and able to get wireless internet from my laptop
with Linksys wireless PCMCIA card just fine. But I cannot access file and
printer sharing wirelessly. I set it up on the host PC, but do not see it
when setting up laptop in Network Setup Wizard. All I see is disconnected
LAN port. Should I make my wireless connection the primary connection on my
laptop so that it shows up in the Network Wizard?

Hi
If both computers can surf the Internet than it is Not a Wireless issue.
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what is allowed
to be shared.
