Hi
Is it possibile to share folders/files between 2 pc's that go through the same router ?
I have a Pc upstairs that goes into my Linksys Befsr41 router and a Laptop downstairs that also goes in the router so would i be able to send folders/files between them why there not connected together but are using the same router :confused:
Thanks :D

That's the best way to create a LAN. If running XP or Me, run the Windows networking wizard on each.
Same workgroup name on each, but different computer names.

What operating systems are your PC's using?

The best way is to configure the Network Manually.:D

Log to this page it has a lot of links to instructions to Windows Network Setting and Sharing.
