Connecting my pc to my laptop

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

I have a pc connected to a cable modem, that is running windows ME.
My lap top is connected wireless via a netgrear router and is running XP.

I would like to be able to transfer some files from the pc to the lap top
and vice versa, but I can't seem to figure out how to do this.

I am completely confused.

Help?

Hi
Hopefully you have a network. I.e. the cable modem is connected to the WAN
side of a Wireless Cable/DSL Router, the WinME computer is plugged into the
Router, and the Laptop is connecting to the Router Wirelessly.
If it so you have to configure Windows Network Sharing:

Otherwise you should describe in more details what the nature of you
connections is.

Is there any form of physical connection between the cable modem and your
netgear router?
If not, it will come down to eg. putting the stuff on a CD on one system and
reading it off the CD on the other.
If there is, then reading up on a possible solution at
