Wireless Network Help

Grudzinski · 06-15-2007, 08:08 PM

I have a home computer and a wireless router. It is set up and I can access the internet with my laptop just fine through the connection. What i want to do is be able to access my external hard drive that is attached to my desktop over this wireless network, so I can store files there rather than having to always use my flash drive to swap them between machines.

Hello and welcome to the forum. I will move you over to the networking portion of the forum, the networking techs will need to know what wireless router you are using, what type of encryption you have enabled, what firewall you are using....like ZoneAlarm etc.

The name of your ISP and country of residence.
