I have been waiting for a section like this to ask a "basic" question...hahaha

I recently (yes recently) got broadband and I have successfully been able to setup the modem/router and our two laptops to access both (a) the internet and (b) the printer (wireless also).

However I want to the two laptops to talk to each other in order to access shared files. I have tried in the past but failed i.e. I could get the vista-laptop to work (by trial and error) but couldn't setup the xp-laptop.

If anyone could guide me to a conclusive 'how-to' for both vista and xp that would be awesome!
