    Hi . I have 2 PC's which are currently connected to broadband using a wireless netgear DG834PN . My question is - Can I or is it easy to share the local drives for each machine wirelessly ? Do I need any additional hardware ?

    you need to run "wireless network wizard" and enable security for each wireless adapter.

    I already have wpa security activated - How do I share /See "C" drives?

    Or Right-click the folder in Explorer, Go to [Properties] and select the [Sharing] Tab. Remember, keep it secure!

    I've never used the wizard but there are a few things you have to be mindful of. I don't have time to go into detail at the moment but if yer stuck, post up and I'll try put something together.

    You have to enable File and Printer sharing on both computers
    You have to make sure that both computers on the wame Workgroup. If they are using the same version of windows, then this is probably already done.
