I'm trying to link my laptop with a buddies computer. We both have windows XP. We tried wireless and through a lan cable. The troubleshooter was of no help. Any ideas on how to go about this, what is the quickest easiest way?

yes buddy, you can do that. Go to My network place and then run Setup a home or small office network,left side of the window. Make sure that you are in the same work group

You can do it in Windows XP by setting up a so-called "ad-hoc" wireless network (assuming you both have wireless). There's a few steps involved; see the link below for details.
