Networking Wireless PC's

Postby Chriss » August 22, 2010, 12:22 pm

I have a router with a LAN cable to one desktop PC, I also have a wireless desktop and a wireless laptop all running off the same router. How do I configure the PC's and laptop so I can see all the files on each of them from any of them...... does that make sense, I mean I would like to be able to use say the laptop and log onto a desktop to retrieve a document or transfer a document etc. Is this possible through the router?

The desktops are running XP Pro and the laptop is running Vista.

Thanks Bjts but it says at the bottom of this article

What You Need:
•Computer running the Windows operating system
•One or more files needing to be shared
•A functioning local network

It's the functioning network I want to set up...

Chriss,

I didn't have to configure my router to accomplish the task you're asking for. Try the following link, continue onto step 3 for file sharing.

OK thanks Papa but how do I connect from one PC to the other, I can set up the file/folder/printer sharing but don't know how to actually log onto another PC to see the shared files etc on there. I think I'm getting dumber the older I get.
