Hi

I have a PC connected to a linksys wireless broadband router and another laptop sharing the broadband connection through wireless.

I would like to know that is it possible to let my laptop access some folders on my PC through the wireless connection as if it were a LAN? If so, how do I do it?

Thanks

Just set them up as if they were a LAN - same Workgroup... Use the Windows network wizard on both and open up the relevant software firewall ports if needed.

I'm assuming they are both assigned IPs by the router via DHCP, so they should be in the same IP range.
