Corish Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Hello. Right I need help, I have a laptop which I use fro the house via wireless internet, the router is in the garage amongst 2 Desktop PC's which are connected to the router via Ethernet. Now thing is, I want to access my desktop pc's files so I can listen to music etc from my pc without having to download on the laptop etc, how do I make and view a shared folder which I can access with the laptop from wireless lan. thanks corish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai the Socket Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Buy a wireless router and a wireless networking card. Router = £50 ish Card = £20 ish. eBuyer. Stick to goodish makes for routers. Cards don't really make much difference I've found. I've got a buffalo wireless air port and buffalo card. With a Netgear router. It's cool.

Danny Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Right click on a folder > Properties > Sharing > Share this folder on the network Then find it on the other pc via 'My Network Places' If that doesnt work run the network setup wizard found under Accessories > Communications on all the pcs making sure the workgroup is the same on them all.
