What are you saying here that you can do sharing resources between
machines when it's wire and you can't do it when it's wireless.

Think about it, if the machines can share resources when they are on
wire and they can't do it when they are on wireless, then what you're
trying do to up above and what you're ready to do in your last post I
read is not going to do anything for you, because the problem is not
with the computers as they are sharing resources when they are on the
wire connection.

The problem is with the wireless side in the situation and the problem
has nothing to do with O/S setup on either machine.

What O/S(s) are on the machines and what network protocols are on the
wire and wireless NIC(s).
