Can not see shared network folders when using wireless

I am having a problem seeing my network shared folders when I use my
laptops wireless connection. I have recently set up a home network
with a desktop, a laptop and a belkin adsl wireless router. At first
I struggled getting the network to work but have solved this by adding
an allowed IP range to Norton firewall. I have now got to a stage
where when the laptop and desktop are ethanet connected to the router
the internet runs through the adsl router on both and they can both
see each other and the any shared folders. However when I disconnect
the laptop from the ethanet connection to the router the laptop can
connect to the wireless router and connect to the internet but it can
not connect to desktop and shared folders.

I am using norton on both computers, and am using WEP security on the
wireless.

Can anybody please help me on why I cannot connect to the network
through the wireless connection.

Cheers

Hi

When you switch to Wireless the computer is assigned with a different IP
address. Make sure that Norton's Trusted zone allows the new IP too.

It was as simple as that. Norton hadn't learnt the wireless IP
address. All working now. Cheers
