Please help newbie network 4 PC's using Linksys router

I am actually asking this for my girlfriend who is a techie and wants
to network 4 PC's together.

Has DSL
Has Wired outlets
Has Linksys Router
All machines are running Windows XP Home

Goal:
Network PC's to share:
-Internet Connection
-Files on each PC
-Programs on other PC's (doubt it can be done without VNC perhaps)
-Print to any of 2 printers connected via USB or parallel port but not
Network capable (Ethernet/LAN) printers

Help, To-Do's, Things people usually forget, Gotchas, Security, and
even links to Tutorials or an easily obtained book (in a store) is
much appreciated.

Thanks for any help in advance
Joe
