How to share/copy files via my wireless network?

[Strangiato]

Hi everybody.



At home, I have my pc and laptop connected fine to the internet via

belkin wireless cards going to a belkin wireless router (which in turn

is connected to my cable internet modem).



I'd like to be able to share and copy files from my pc to my laptop

and vice versa. Is this possible? How do I set it up?



PC has XP Home

Laptop has XP Professional



Thanks

Here are several websites which contain all the information you need:

Here are several tips which some folks don't always realise:
1) Disable ICF on both computers.
2) Put both computers in the same workgroup.
3) Login to each computer using an account / password identical to
one setup on the other computer.
