Networking two computers running vista basic.
Hi everyone:
I'm new here and wanted to see if anyone had any knowledge about networking two computers running vista basic. They are two laptops that need to be neworked together. Does anyone know of any problems with networking them together or bugs or problems I may encounter when doing so? Thanks. Mark

The easiest way is by using a router. Excellent, thorough, yet easy to understand article about File/Printer Sharing in Vista.

There should be no problem as long as you understand that none of the Home editions can join a domain. If you're not using AD, then just create matching user accounts/passwords on the server and follow the instructions for networking Vista that I already gave you.
