Sharing files using wireless router/modem.

**Joefireline** · 04-16-2006, 06:21 AM

Hi, me and my brother have set up a wireless network (well, I paid for the router, he set it up). We have successfully done this, and we are currently running 4 PCs off it and using the internet of it. (2 laptops, and 2 desktops - desktops using a Ethernet cable.) However, we are wanting to be able to share files, but we are not shore how to do this, can we do it and how?
Thanks in advance, Joseph.

Take a look at this File Sharing Tutorial, see if that gets you going.

Thanks for your reply, the site you gave me is useful, but, my brother does not want to use NetBOIS, is there anyway of just using TCP/IP?
Thanks.
Joseph.

I have done it now, all I had to do was go in network places, add a network place, then when it comes up will a part you type in, you press browse, and you will find any computers connected to the network, that is switched on, then you can access their shared documents.

In case you didn't realize it, if you can browse in Network Places, you are using NETBIOS. Remember, that's not the same as NETBEUI...
