Default can i network two computers without a floppy drive?

I'm trying to set up a network of 2 computers in my office so that we can work on the same programs/files of one of the computers and use the same printer. I have connected the 2 to a linksys router and both are able to access the internet but we can't get them linked to share files/programs. When we ran network setup wizard, it said something about a backup or start up floppy disk...we don't have a floppy drive. CAN WE STILL CONNECT THE TWO COMPUTERS????? PLEASE HELP!!!!
