Simple home network

FastFullBack · 2006-03-13 23:21:13

I want to set up a simple home network between 2 laptops. Currently were sharing a broadband connection, which includes a broadband modem and a wireless modem. One laptop is running XP Pro and the other XP Media Centre edition. Whats the easiest way for us to set up the network and share files?? Any help would be good. Tim

1. Add them both to the same workgroup:

ignore Configuring the TCP/IP Protocol Stack

2. Share some folders:
