Networking - Wireless and Wired mixed problems

[un1k]

Hi,
Here is my problem. I have a wireless laptop, a wireless router and another PC.

The PC is sharing the internet via the wireless router which I can access with my wireless Laptop, that is working fine.

But I want to share files between the Laptop and the PC, they are on the same workgroup but On the laptop I only see the laptop listed in the "view workgroup computers" and on the PC, nothing is listed.

I have been told by someone that he had problems with wireless/wired networks, is it possible to make it work?

Basically, my problem is the 2 computers don't seem to detect each other, but I still can access Internet on both by the wireless router.

But what I don't understand is that I tried a little network game, and I could connect with the internal IP 192.168.x.x
so I was playing a network game with the Laptop and PC but still can't see them in the view workgroup computers.

Ihope I am clear enough... I am using Win XP on both machines, and I am using a Linksys router...

Help would be much appreciated as I want to share files easily and it never seems to work out so I just let it go.

Thank you!!

The wired/wireless aspect is irrelevant.

OK I will look into those documents, but I just want to add that I tried with another wireless laptop, and it was detected in the workgroup and we could share files. So it seems that it is the wired PC that has a problem, but you say that wired/wireless network shouldn't be a problem?

Thanks for your help by the way, I appreciated

When everything is set up correctly it will not be a problem.
