Windows XP Tutorials / Windows Vista Tutorials

[Webbie]

Hi,

I'm just wondering if anyone knows of tutorials for Vista that are
easy to follow like this one for XP:

I really appreciate any help on finding some good Vista networking
tutorials.

I am using Vista Home Premium.

Thanks,
Webbie

http://www.wown.com used to contain straightforward tutorials when it
was helmig's site. I don't know how good it is these days but probably
worth a look.

Hi
Vista set the Network Automatically.
So the thing to do is to connect the two computers via a Switch, or cross
over cable (which is the same as WinXP).
Then configure on each computer the sharing.
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is
allowed to be shared.
