I am "BrandonsCompu" on the picture. I want to access the information on "Spencers-PC", (my other computer downstairs). How can I access that computers information? This will save me a lot of downloading for each computer, just having the ability to copy files between the network rather than download them.

We have a wireless router, but the two computers are wired to the router.

Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html


As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is allowed to be shared.

ANy way to let Vista share a folder and NOT have a password on the account? Or I guess can I map the drive through net use (from an XP machine) the same way I can to another XP machine's drive? Haven't tried that yet...
