Home network setup..help for a biff

[drain_sniffer]

Ok, now I have googled this to death, and read all the help pages but I am still clueless

I have a BT home hub, connected via Ethernet to my main pc, and accessed wirelessly by my laptop, PSP and Wii. This was easy to do

Now, I want to share my printer and music files with my laptop but even using the wizard I seem to be struggling.

Can someone please try and describe how I do this (Peter and Jane style)

I thank you

For the music, in Windows Media player, click on the arrow below library and go to media sharing, and/or right click my music and go to the sharing tab this should work for everything (can access mine from my 360 and second PC).

For the printer that should just be start > control panel > Printers and faxes, right click the printer, sharing tab and share this printer.


All of that should have been sorted in the home/small office network wizard though?
