I have to ask this because I haven't been able to do this for almost a year.
I have a netgear wireless USB adapter (MA111) I need to be able to share my mom's printer computer over a home network, but I am unable to do this because my mom's dell will only allow internet access via through the router but won't let me share files or the printer from the Dell PC to Gateway PC on monday afternoon I had stumbled across a option in netgear utilities that say's network mode. It would let me switch from infrastructure (access point) to computer to comupter (HOC) forgive me if I got the last part wrong.... But will that option allow me to share my resources and file's with my mother's dell using that option ? if so please let me know something and how to do this. NOTE: here is a screenshot of my netgear configuration utility.

if you can connect to the network with your wireless card, then you do not need to set anything within this configuration utility.

first thing i'd determine is to see if you can ping your mom's computer by using the command "ping " in the command window.

2nd thing i'd check to see if you have file and print sharing enabled for your mom's computer

I ran into problems when setting up my laptop for file sharing. It turned out to be Norton blocking out the network like a hermit because it was configured originally to only use the network for net access and not file sharing. If you have a software firewall, it might help to have a look at the settings before trying to set up a file/ printer sharing workgroup.

I configured both PC's for networking but it seem's there's is a problem,
My computer, the Gateway PC can not seem to find the sunflare network that I generated for both computer's however my mom's PC the DELL see's my PC called sunflare-xp over the network however if I double click my computer icon on her computer it deny's it access from touching it also say's it can locate the network but it show's my PC ICON and hers that I made for the network.....

also when I installed my USB adapter on my PC it asked if I wanted to turn off home networking wizard on my PC so that netgear could function and have full control over my PC, could this be the root of the problem ?
