Need help connecting Windows 7 & Windows XP through wireless

[g_goyal2000]

I have a standalone laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit with integrated wi-fi.

I have a standalone desktop running Windows XP Pro 32-bit with a D-Link Wireless N 150 USB Adapter.

Both the PC's have a printer each connected to both of them.

Also, I have a MTNL ADSL wireless router for internet. Laptop connects to it through wireless, desktop through ethernet.

I want to connect both the PC's for file transfer, printer sharing.

I tried using Google and found some tips. But the both still don't show in each others "Available wireless connections".

Kindly help.

Does your router have USB support? If yes, good luck, I have the same problem..

Yes, I have already done the steps as mentioned here:
Networking home computers running different versions of Windows

If there is a better guide for laymen/novice, please point me towards it.
Thanks.

if your adsl router has more than 1 ethernet port connect laptop to other ethernet port & then check if desktop & PC detects each other.also as far as i remember your user account on both windows 7 & xp must have a password for this to work & avoid many issues.
