Hello. I have a laptop and a desktop. The laptop runs XP and hos the modem
and wireless router connected to it. The laptop has XP as well. I run the
'Home Network' set-up wizard, to allow the 2 to share folders. When the
wizard is finished it asks me to insert a 3.5 floppy so I can take the info
from the desktop to the laptop. This is fine, but I do not have a floppy
drive on the laptop.

How do I get the info from the desktop to the laptop?

Nelsen,

If both computers are running Windows XP, just run the wizard on each computer.

On the first, you select
This computer connects directly to the Internet. The other computers on my
network connect to the Internet through this computer.

On the second, select
This computer connects to the Internet through another computer on my network or
through a residential gateway.

Does one of the computers connect wirelessly? Which computer has the modem?
