can't get computers to share files
« on: January 01, 2007, 11:15:52 AM »
I have a wireless network connection using qwest dsl action tec.  All of my computers are able to use this network to connect to the internet.  i want to share files between computers.  Is there a way that I can accomplish this using this qwest network?

I am trying to share files between a desktop and laptop.  Both have windows xp/media.

i read the first tutorial on sharing files, and got to the point where I made my file "sharable", but I can't find where I can open it on my laptop.  I typed network neighborhood in search and it pulled up nothing.

Nothing will work if file sharing is switched off on the machines.  Is it?
Only able to visit the forums sporadically, sorry.
