[matrix0978]

Well i ahev 4 computer hooked up to Linksys router and i want to connect alll the computers to be hooked up in My Network Places so i can share files from all of the computer connected to the router?

[MCT]

map a network drive (right click my computer)

then type

\\{computername}\Drive letter your wanting to access + $

example:

\\Serverpc\c$

would give u access to the computer on your network with the computer name "serverpc" allowing u to access the c:\ drive

[matrix0978]

It errors and said could not find \\Serverpc\c$. Because it asked for Drive Letter and Folder.

[MCT]

u need 2 specify the actual name of 1 of your computers, i used "serverpc" as an example as i stated if u would have read my post

[matrix0978]

And also.... what would i do to make 3 of the 4 computer share 1 printer?

[MCT]

u should be able to set the printer on 1 like normal & enable file/printer sharing & i have no idea from there, im new to networking also my printer is out of ink, so i havent connected it yet

[matrix0978]

Goto "Start -> Run -> 'RunDLL32.EXE hnetwiz.dll,HomeNetWizardRunDll'"

Use that wizard to configure your home network. Make sure all the PCs on the network are on the same Workgroup.

Platform: WinXP
