Guest Lindrum Larry Cocopipe Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 I'm shit when it comes to networking pcs so im hoping someone here can help out please I have a laptop running vista and a pc on xp home ed. The laptop has a wireless connection to a router with its internal wifi card The pc latches onto the same connection but using a usb wireless stick. TL-WN321G to be exact. I wanna get it so that the 2 machines can share files between them. preferably wirelessly. The PC is behind a zonealarm firewall and the laptop using windows firewall. Any ideas?

Hautlle Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Have you turned on windows file sharing and selected the folders to share?

kaini Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) vista - xp sharing across a network can be a huge pain cos they use different protocols. basically you need to enable file sharing then change the properties of the folders you want to share so file sharing is enabled for them you may need to also change some permissions on the folders at this point you'll notice it's broken and doesn't work this is your best bet (involves regedit) http://forums.cnet.com/5208-12546_102-0.html?threadID=236402&start=60#2682194 Edited April 22, 2010 by kaini Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide kaini's signature Hide all signatures On 5/7/2013 at 11:06 PM, ambermonk said: I know IDM can be extreme On 6/3/2017 at 11:50 PM, ladalaika said: this sounds like an airplane landing on a minefield Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/55575-how-do-you-do-this/#findComment-1305193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
