    Hey,


    At the moment I've got a LinkSys Wireless G-ADSL Home gateway, with my laptop and desktop connected with Cat 5's. They both are on the Internet without a problem, but I just wanted to find out is it possible to share files between both of the computers, or what exactly do I need to do that?
    And if its possible, does anyone know any good tutorials on the Internet to show me what to do?

    Thanks

    AlexD

    You need to setup a small home network, there is a wizard to do this in XP, go into 'Network Connections' or 'My Network Places' and then on the left there should be 'Setup a home or small office network', click this and follow the wizard!

    N.B. - You have to run it on all PCs you want to share files and printers!
