I can get a wireless connection between the two computers but i can't share
the files. we have the work group under shared documents but there are no
sub-folders and we can't see the files from the different computers. The
shared internet doesn't work either. we have Zonealarm security and i think
that might be a problem. can anyone give me a solution to this problem?

1. Run the Network Setup Wizard on all machines. After the Wizard has
finished and you've rebooted, go to the Windows Firewall applet in
Control Panel and disable the WF.

2. Open ZoneAlarm and add your lan's IP range as trusted. It will be
something like 192.168.1.0-192.168.1.254. Substitute your subnet.
