File sharing 2 Wireless PCs

[bigbadish]

Hi guys,

I'm after a little guidance / link to a site to help me set two wirelessly linked PCs up for fileshaering.

The situation as it stands is:

• 2 PC upstairs
• Both running Windows XP Professional
• Wireless router downstairs, running WPA security (if that matters)

Neither of the PCs are plumbed directly into the Linksys router, which from reading other forums doesn't see too clever, but I've never had a problem with it.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Don't understand what your asking?

Have you enabled file-sharing on both of the machines?
Are they both in the same workgroup?

I'm assuming them are both connected using wireless to the router?

best way to start..

rename the pc's, the 'computername' is what you want to change

call them something easy like

pc1
pc2

or

bedroom
livingroom


set them both to be in WORKGROUP

create a folder C:\shared\ on both, right click, select SHARING, then share the folder

now go to pc1 and click start, run, type in \\pc2 and it'll show \\pc2\shared on the screen

get this working then post back
