MacBook Pro 13" 750GB harddrive
I've managed to set up my MacBook Pro to access the internet via a Belkin G+ wireless router. What I can't manage is to connect it to a local Workgroup which contains a PC running XP SP3. (The PC has a shared printer attached.) The PC is also wireless.

I can't see the PC from the Mac and, while I can sometimes see the Mac in the workgroup, I'm told that I can't access it.

However, when I connect the Mac to the router via ethernet, I can see the PC files and from the PC I can see the Mac files.

I've tried disabling the Windows and router firewalls (disconnected from the internet) but I still can't see the PC from the Mac and vice versa via wi-fi.

What can be the problem? I've followed the advice from several forums, but nothing works.

Please help!!
