I have two computers connecting to the internet using the same router by LAN leads. How can I grab files off one computer from the other? You can do it by typing the directory in a browser I think but I don't know how to do it. Thanks for any help.
go to my network places and hit add network, but first maken sure file sharing is enabled on both computers, which I think you do by going to my network places and click set up home or small office network.
Setup your network to the same workgroup. Go Start > Right click My Computer > Properties > Computer Name tab > Change. Make both computers in the same workgroup. Then share a folder. Or just look at this link http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechn...ilesharing.mspx.
Yeah, thats basically it. You could use the 'Home Networking Wizard' which does all this for you. It can be found at 'My Network Places' - then on the right hand menu, click 'Set up a home or small office network'. Good Luck!
