Linksys WRT54G Broadband router

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

I have just bought the above router and I'm have some trouble.

I got two PC's running XP-pro I have a cable modem pluged in the
'internet' port on the router, one PC pluged into the ethernet port on
the router. The other pc is downstairs connected via the wireless.

I have an internet connection on both but I want to know if I can
share files between both pcs via the wireless connection.


Cheers

It's no different if the machines were using an all wired connection on
the router.

For XP Pro, one should disable Simple File Sharing and use the Classic
mode of shaing resources on XP Pro, which is being talked about on the XP
Pro link.

As being discussed on the XP link is to use Autenticated Users on all
shares.

You should harden the XP Pro O/S to attack a little bit.
