networking possibilities
Hi,
I have a desktop connected wirelessly to internet via router on XP. I am buying a wireless laptop on Vista. I wanted to use the laptop as a kind of "walking mirror" of the dekstop. I want to be able to turn both laptop and desktop on and for them to automatically synchronise so that they both contain the SAME files within pre-defined folders (eg. My Documents, Music Folders). However, I DO NOT want to allow the laptop to connect to the internet via the dekstop. I want this as a purely file exchange network. I hav included a picture to help illustrate. I want to do this for a few reasons: 1 - work on files away from desktop when desktop is switched off 2 - access the internet on laptop when desktop is switched on Any advise? Is this possible and if so how do I go about it? Can you think of any security issues? Last edited by glyn1wood; 03-13-2008 at 06:46 AM. |

Re: networking possibilities
These programs seem to be able to do the actual syncing but not the network connections. It is these that I am stuck on really. Can the laptop and desktop be wirelessly networked (for file transfer) at the same time as networked to the router?

Re: networking possibilities
You can have multiple application connections active on a single link. I don't understand your issue, since I've used various sync applications over my wired and wireless network here. They don't have to do "network connections".
