Networking with Vista

FatFool · 03-15-2007

Hi. I've got a wireless network ...

I used to be able to share files fine from pc to laptop and vice versa with XP but now I have Vista on the laptop I can't find the PC's shared files and the PC cant find the laptops shared files.

I can only find guides on sharing files over different user accounts on the same pc, not over a network.

I can connect to the router and use the Interweb fine though.

I have home basic 32bit.

Any help?

Thanks
Tom.
