I wouldnt share an entire hard drive though with a wireless conn. Just shared documents and printer.

Also be aware that a wireless network is a lot slower than wired so large files and large print jobs will be slow.

I tested my system transferring a 100 MB file between 2 computers with 100 MB NICs and an 802.11G wireless card and router.
It averaged 1800 KPS on the wireless and 10400 KPS on the wired connection.
