Hi Guys,

I'm using a wireless router with WPA-PSK security to connect to t'interweb.

We also have 3 machines in the house, 1 x XP Pro Laptop, 1 x Vista Home Premium Laptop and 1 x Vista Home Premium HTPC.

What I ideally want to do is to have everything (movies, photos and mp3s) on the hard drive of the HTPC.

I've set up an ad-hoc wireless network between the HTPC and the XP laptop.
To share the files between the machiones means sharing the C drive.

The problem is that when I'm connected to the web, the C drive is still shared.

How do I get around this problem and how do I actually get into the C drive of the other PC from the laptop ? Do I just map a drive to \\ad-hoc\htpc\c$ ?
