File transfering

[Guest]

I bought a new computer and would like to use the file transfer to move my
data. I have both computers connected to my router and can get online on both
computers. When I try to set up the File transfer I choose Home office
Network but then the wizzard does not recognize the new computer. I would
appreciate some help. I tried to set up a network naming each computer but
something must be wrong. Thank you

Hi,

Did you run the Wizard in both the systems?
Also, what's the exact error message as you see in the display?

In the meantime, see these links:

As you're using a router, choose one of the following options when you run
the Network Setup Wizard.

This computer connects to the Internet through another computer on my
network or through a residential gateway
or
This computer connects to the Internet directly or through a network hub.
Other computers on my network also connect to the Internet directly or
through a hub
