Home WLAN how to Share files.....HELP !!!

Hello everybody !!
This is my first post. I have recently setup my first WIFI-WIRED LAN. It works great sharing the internet connection line.

At the moment I'm trying to share files and printers too.
I tried everything but no success at all.

See the diagram for the configuration.


Can you help me please.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you Rob I appreciate your input.
The problem with my network is that I can't see the main PC connected to the router when using the notebook.

I think it is due to something with the router setup.

Are you using firewalls on your computers?
If you are try temporarily disabling them and see if you can then get sharing to work.
Windows firewall has a check box to allow "file and printer sharing" and other firewalls have different methods.
Try giving both your computers the same "Workgroup" name and see if this helps.
