Wireless Network

I have a home wirless network of three computers. Two run Windows XP and one runs Windows Vista. I permit file sharing on the computers.

Just out of curiosity I ask this question: Suppose file sharing was not allowed. Would it be possible for me, whilst using one of the computers, to use DOS commands to access files on my other networked computers? If so how would I do it?

TIA

Re: Wireless Network

Use the correct slashes, that should have been.
