Linksys Network, XP Machines, Corrupted Transfers

Ever since I set up my wireless (I had a wired linksys router) I have been unable 90% of the time in transferring files between computers. The computers are about 10 feet away from the router (and about 4 feet away from each other). I am able to transfer images, but as soon as I try to transfer a compressed file, movie file, basically anything of size, when it comes through on the other end it is cut off and useless. I've even tried logging into two different AIM accounts and using that transfer. No luck. These files aren't corrupt to begin with, because I can open them just fine on the sending PC. Transfers are corrupt both ways, so I'm at a loss. I've taken down my firewall but it still has the same problem.

On a side note, My one PC can see the printer hooked up to the other, but when I try to print it gives me a "You do not have permission to use the selected printer". The printer is shared, I'm not sure what else I can do. I'm getting tired of doing screen prints from my one PC of documents I want to print and sending the image to the PC that has the printer.

Any help on either problem would be appreciated (especially the first one)
