wireless adhoc network

Has anyone set up an adhoc network for wireless computers?

I have one laptop with integrated wireless and a second laptop with a linksys wireless card. Both are running XP Pro. When I set them both to adhoc network on the same SSID they seem to connect but i can't find the other in my network places. Both are on the same workgroup and have Client for Microsoft Networks and File and Print Sharing operating. Anyone have any ideas?

TIA

do you have some folders shared?
try mapping a drive to one of the laptops with

net use G: \\computer name\share name

and see if it will map the drive.
