Set up a home network?
I am probably thick but I just want to be able to set up a network. My sons
computer is running XP professional and he is connected to me via a wireless router. My computer is running vista home premium and for the life of me I just cannot set up the two computers so they can see each other.The only icons I can see is the residential gateway and my PC. Why can't I see my sons computer when we are both connected to the same wireless router? I have read and read the information on Vista and XP but I just keep going round in circles. Please help, the lad only wants to access the music on my computer.
