Network, switch, router, 2 PC's

[MyTemp]

hi guys

I have 2 computers (one is using windows 7, other is using windows xp), one switch and router. I don't have physical access to router. I have plugged the cable from router to switch, and connected both PC's to switch and now I have internet on both PC's.

My question is, can I "control" or share files on windows xp with Windows 7 (main computer) and in same time have access to internet? Or to use windows 7 to connect to internet?

If you have access to internet with both, i don't understand the meaning of

Or to use windows 7 to connect to internet?

As for the other question: Yes, you can. It's only a matter of configuring the things rights. Here is an example of how to do things. You can also use remote desktop to connect to the XP from Win 7 and do what you want like if you were using the XP computer.
