Wireless file sharing


Recommended Posts

Ok my setup is as follows:

My Pc is connected to Netgear wireless router through ethernet port.

Downstairs pc has usb wireless dongle, internet works fine.

Have a seperate router to connect to the net, netgear is connected to this via Internet port on Netgear.

Both pcs on same workgroup, Both cant see eachother but when i Check my netgear router setup in IE, both pcs are in same IP range which is correct but still wont work. I really need help with this im so confused. I really wanna setup file sharing and printer sharing so i can leave downstairs pc as overnight leecher :D hehe.

Have you actually setup folders to share? You need to right-click a few folders and allow them to be shared. You'll also need to have the ALG service on if you've disabled it, along with File & Printer Sharing.
