| to share files between xp and vista, setting up home network
whats up people, I have XP on my main pc, but just got a laptop that has vista, I would like to set up the network so I can access files from my ext HDD on the laptop without having to plug it directly into the laptop, I have the wireless internet up already, and I set the folder from the HDD that I want to share to sharring, but when I go into vista and check out network places it only shows my back up computer's printer. Any suggestions? Thanx |

Make sure you shared the folders or drives you want to access, Get the IP address of the machine that has the shared stuff (Start - Run - CMD"Ipconfig") Then on the other computer do this (Start - Run - \\192.168.1.12 (or whatever the IP is)) Hopefully you should see everything.
