Hello,
I have a main computer that the wireless connection is attached to. I also have another destop and a laptop. They are wireless. I have my wireless internet set up. My question is that I want to access the main computer files and folders from the other desktop and laptop. How do I do this?
Thanks

on the main computer you need to setup a folder where you can share things from.


1. Create a new folder
2. Right click it > properties > sharing > enable sharing.
3. you need to find out the computer name of the main PC. right click my computer > properties > computer name (eg. homepc)
4. on the other PCs go to start > run > type \\computername and press OK
5. a new window will open up and it will show you the shared folder you made on the main PC.
6. right click this folder and select map network drive.
7. select a letter of your choosing and press OK.
8. open up my computer in these machines and you'll see the network share under the drive letter you chose.
