Hello All, I just got a new desktop with vista on it, and I would like to take the files form my XP Pro Laptop. The desktop is connected via ethernet cord to a router in my house. The laptop is using a wireless connection through the router. I want to take the files from my laptop to my desktop using the internet. How would I go about setting up a home network?

Hello folks, hope you can help me. We currently have a desktop PC at home which runs Windows XP Pro. I have just bought myself a new laptop (HP Pavilion dv2000), which is also currently running XP. My new laptop however is eligible for a free upgrade to Windows Vista. I have been getting used to my new laptop over the past week and setting up my network, so that I can share media files from my desktop to my laptop (desktop PC wasn't powerful enough to do some video editing, which is why I bought the laptop). Will it be ok for me to upgrade my laptop to Vista, have my desktop running XP and still be able to share files and generally network my computers as normal?

I have a laptop running Vista home premium and a desktop PC with Win ME. I can "see" the laptop from the desktop but cannot connect to it. The other way round is fine, from the laptop I can see the folders and files on the desktop PC, open them...

I installed the Windows Vista Home Basic upgrade to my XP Home SP2 desktop and the cable modem connection to the internet is not detected by the Vista installation. I have a Linksys wireless router which still connects my laptop to the internet just...

Hope this is the right forum. I was wondering if there was a how to guide on setting up a home network. I have a Linksys Vonage router and a Linksys Wireless access point. My desktop is wired to the router and is connected to a usb printer/fax and an external Iomega 250GB hard drive. My laptop is connected through wireless with an Intel 3945bg adapter (HP nc8430).

I'd like to be able to access my files on my desktop and external hard drive as well as printer or fax to the printer from my wireless laptop. Is this possible? How do I set this up? Right now I have Vista Ultimate on the laptop and the desktop is running XP Pro and Vista Enterprie in a dual boot. Can I setup to share the usb hard drive and printer if I'm in either Vista or XP Pro on the desktop?
