Title: Easy guide to set up a file sharing network between XP Pro and Vista Ultimate
Post by: chrisdicko on November 27, 2007, 16:32:41 PM
Im a total dumbass at setting stuff like this up, and TBH havent a clue what im doing.

Ive asked before, and got recommended programs etc, but couldnt work them out.

Im wanting to download things from the net on my Main PC, then when the Media pc is turned on, along with the Main one, I would like to drag files from the Main on to the Media pc.

Any easy easy guides out there, as Ive tried but with no sucess!!  :whoops:

Do you care about security/permission of shared files?

If not, its even easier with simple file sharing on XP enabled.

Im sure this question has been asked hundreds of time accross message boards so your not going to struggle to find a guide.  No here really needs to type it out again unless you are really struggling.

Though this should help...

Cheers made. I did have a look on google, but the guides didnt seem to be the most simple. I will check them out, and give it a bash :)

Oh, I meant to say the network would be via a router as well.
