astra12 Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 Just set up my PC and my kids 2 PC's with a wireless network so we can all access the internet.Everything went smoothly and is all working fine.I would like to be able to swap files between the 3 PC's and would like to know the easiest way to acvhieve this.My PC and my sons have XP Pro, but my daughters has WIN 98SE.Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.Thanks.
XtremeMaC Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 well since u all can access the internet, its very easy to setup the networking.I belive u either typed in the ip's or configured it with the xp's network setup wizard. usually xp machines won't see the 98's but if u type the address u'll be able to browse their computer. I'd say the easiest way would be simple sharing the folders u want to share with "read-only" so this way everyone will be able to access the info but won't be able to changeand if u'd want to change something either just use remote access or a vnc program (I use ultra vnc to connect to my families computers') 1 win2000others xp. 2000 is a little bit of a problem on some cases but win98 should be okay.u should actually already have a network setted up since u have internet on all of them. try going into network neighbourhood and see if u can see other computersu'll probably at least see "shared documents" on xp's,...
