    How to configure two laptops with different OS on Wireles to share Files
    How do I configure my two laptops to share files on wireless. The wireless I'm using is 3com Adsl wireless 108 Mbps 11g Firewall Router. I can access internet on both laptops via wireless but not they are not able to share files with each other. How do I configure these two laptop to connect to each other?

    Scott,

    How do I turned on the File and print Sharing. Note that One laptop I'm using is running on Windows XP, and the other on Windows Vista.

    There is an update available on Microsoft's website for XP for it to be visible to the Vista laptop. This is what I did when I bought this Vista laptop and I wanted to transfer my files from my old computer to new computer. Try searching for it.

    The easiest way to file-share is to download networking software, I would recommend

    Network Magic or it may be called Pure Networks, this solved my problem, as I had the

    Same problem as you... hope it works
