I have a wireless G router providing internet assess for my laptop. I also have a desktop connecting to the router using a cable. When I try to share a folder in my desktop so that my laptop could view the folder, I get an error message stating Windows cannot find the DNS. The folder, however, could be assessed by my laptop if I connect my laptop to the router using a cable. Both my desktop and laptop are using Vsita. My laptop is using the same Adhoc channel as the router. Any idea?

I am not a sophisticated PC user. Could you show me how to perform your suggested task.
