networking between Vista 64 and XP

[TheNiceGuy]

Hi all. Thanks for checking it out.
I want to transfer large files (i.e. movies of 1 or 2 GB) from my PC to my wife's. We are connected by an internet router. My PC is Vista 64, and her's is XP. How can I do this?
Thanks!

Make sure that the Software Firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall On, Vista/XP Native Firewall should be Off, and the active Firewall has to adjusted to your Network IP numbers on what is some time called the Trusted Zone (consult your 3rd Party Firewall instructions.
