is your router DHCP capable?
does it have a built in DNS server?

do you know anything about setting up a network?

I have my Vista laptop setup thru my router to my WinXP desktop - no problems at all - except printer sharing... it keeps telling me there's no access to the printer and that's even after I installed the Vista compatibility update !

Other than that.. no problems.

Ok there is a way but without knowing a lot more about your network setup it's impossible to be specific.

wireless modem, What make & model

Is this your internet connection?
Are your machines both connected to it?

Jimmy,
Did you make sure both computers have the same workgroup name?
By default, Vista is named "WORKGROUP" and WinXP is named "MSHOME".

Just to check a few things:

Can they both see each other?
Can you ping the laptop from your machine, and your machine from your laptop?
You have connected the two with a cross-over cable?
Have you made sure the subnet masks are the same, which should be 255.255.255.0?
They are both in the same workgroup?
Can your they both see each other when you use your wireless connection?

Have you tried another crossover cable?

Also can your laptop and your machine connect to your wireless network?

Is there an ethernet port on your router that you can plug your machine into?

What make/model is your router? It's rare that a wireless router doesn't have an ethernet port.

A local made router? I should be able to find some information about it, and can advise you from there.
