Sharing files between laptop and pc

[mysteryman]

Does anyone know how to share files between a pc which is connected to an adsl wireless router/modem by ethernet and a laptop connected by a wireless card toi the adsl router/modem?

Name both computers to the same workgroup.
Give seperate names to each PC
Reboot
Create identical usernames on both machines, same password
Create a shared directory on each machine, and allow full rights to that user.

Right click on "my network places" then search for the other machine. Now create a shortcut link to the shared directory on your desktop. You can also share printers on each other machines. On the computer connected to the printer, right click on it and click share.

do as above, but instaed of network places, you can just use..

start, run
\\computername

this will bring up the shared resources for that pc

you can then map the network drives (ie, have it as Z: in my computer)
