Networking with a vista wireless laptop to a XP wired computer
Hi,
I'm trying to setup a small home network but the help files on the computers aren't helping me. I have a computer (running on XP SP2) wired into a router (which is also wireless) and I have wireless laptop which is running Vista (Home premium). Can anyone tell me how I set up this network so that I can access the drives on the either computer?
