Hi
My father in law has just bought a new laptop with Vista installed and a Netgear DG834g wireless router. His old machine is a Dell with Windows XP sp2 installed and he is using the USB Wireless key fob to connect to the Wireless Access Point.
He would like to be able to transfer files from one computer to the other via this wireless link, Internet access works fine but I was expecting to be able to see the computer names in network neighbourhood and then be able to create shares between them both. I am unsure how to make these machines visible in network neighbourhood on the Vista and XP machines. Can someone point me in the right direction as to how to get this part configured!
Thanks
