networking 3 computers

astosoup · 11-16-2007, 04:25 AM

I have 2 computers running Windows XP and one running Windows Me...I want to network all 3 together to share files and a printer. All are online now through a Linksys router on Verizon Broadband, but i cant share anything. I was wondering, how i would go about doing this?

Easy way is to run the network setup wizard on all 3 making sure u pick the same workgroup name

Correct. And you need user accounts on each PC with passwords if I am not mistaken.

That would be best, that way it makes it a tad bit harder for anyone to access your files on a pc from another one unless they are already logged in as you...
