How to share files on local WiFi?
« on: June 24, 2010, 05:01:06 PM »
Explanation:

I'm using ADSL connection and I created a local WiFi using X-Micro WLAN 11g Broadband Router.
I do posses a desktop and a laptop. I have access to internet from both PCs.

Question:
Is there a way that i could share my documents from desktop over the WiFi to the laptop so I could have access to these files from laptop?
If that is possible, please explain me what to use to do that.

P.S. I know how to share files using LAN network connection, but that manner doesn't works with WiFi connection.

Cheers i advance for your reply.

Run the network wizard again on both PCs. Answer the questions. Turn on file sharing. Pick the right work group name.  Reset both PCs. Establish wireless connection. Look in My Network Places.Within five minutes Windows should have both computers available. Be sure to turn on the shared folder or public folder share feature.
Yes, it works for the rest of us.
