2 PCs through a LAN

Post by Ben Slaughter »

Admitidly, I haven't even tried to fool around with this yet, but anyone know the procedure for getting 2 PCs to recognize each other? 1 desktop (connected via ethernet cable) and one laptop (sometimes wireless, sometimes on the docking station). Linksys router. WinXP Pro on both systems.

End goal is to share files.

Thanks in advance.
