Setting up wireless network help.

OK this is the situation

1. Desktop with a modem router with wireless plugged into the desktop via the Ethernet connection

1. Laptop with built in wifi which connects to the router and can browse the internet.

I am struggling to create a wireless network so that the two machines can access each others files etc..as you would on a home network.

The networking wizards in XP don't make much sense. The desktop PC would be the 'server' so to speak as it has the router attached to it phsically but I'm stuck.

Please help.
