cheers chris

just set up file sharing on both pc's and you should be good to go

Yep right click the file you want to share and go to Sharing and Security Click the I understand risks of networking just Enable File sharing Click Share this folder Click Permissions and everyone Full Control

then on the other pc in the address bar or run put in \\computername should see the share folder there.

any problems gives a shout .

i use network magic and it sets everything up itself

cheers guys just got back from work ill give it a go in mornin and let ya know how it goes

It really is that easy? Ive been trying to set file sharing between my upstairs and downstairs comps for ages and it seems a right pain i nthe arse.

cant get run \\computername to work but in networkmagic i can get files off my xp desktop useing my vista laptop but cant get files off my laptop useing xp desktop

Vista is a pain in the Arse!

Open Networking and Sharing Center
and the Sharing and Discovery bit Enable Network Discovery, File Sharing, Public Folder Sharing. Like image below

Vista System in the Networking and Sharing Center
there should be a Picture of your computer and under it the computer should have name of the laptop
in this pic its Vista-Ultimate so to open that computer i would put in \\Vista-Ultimate will allow you to see the files.

XP > Right click my computer> Properties > Computer name tab and use that with the \\ in address bar

if you don't get what i mean just let me know as i can rabble crap a little

thanks mate got it sorted

gonna try that later, been trying the same thing since i got the wife a lappy.
cheers
