Can they ping each other? If so, then you have a Windows sharing problem.
Yes.
That would be an "ad hoc mode" network -- but then you wouldn't be connected to the router and the Internet. To have both at the same time, you have to use "infrastructure mode" with the router.
thanks m8. i now know what to do, i will try the "infrastructure mode"
