    Access my files on a computer I don't have physical access to
    Goal: I want to get some files off computerX.

    Challenge: I do not have physical access to computerX.

    Info and Access I do have:

    * computerX is WindowsXP (media edition, I believe)

    * computerX is connected to a Linksys WRT150N

    * remote administration is set, I can access the router pages remotely

    * I can connect to the wireless network

    * computerX has some sort of network file sharing enabled... I know this because
    It has a shared folder on it's desktop that both it and computerY can access. ComputerY
    Is on the same network, and is WindowsXP Home. I do not have physical access
    To computerY.

    Is there anything I can do to somehow connect to computerX and get the
    Files? I'd prefer to use my Powerbook to connect, but I can use a PC if
    Necessary. I do not want computerX to show any super-obvious signs that this
    Is happening.

    If I'm reading this correctly---you're asking how to hack into someone else's computer and take a file without their knowledge?

    Wouldn't that fall into "Illegal"?

    You make it sound so sordid. ;)

    I said it was a long story, but in a nutshell: kind of. I own the computer, and
    I own the files, and can prove both things.

    I just don't have physical access.
