Setting up home network ?
Hello
I am wanting to set up a home network between 1 laptop & 1 desktop.
They are both setup wireless.
What would be the best way forward ??
Thanks

just choose not to use a floppy at the end of the wizard and finish manually. then run the wizard on the other machine and use the same workgroup name.
Should be that easy. remember to right click the drives / folders that you want to share and choose sharing, enable sharing and the rest. bobs ur uncle

Both firewalls have to be set to allow connections from the other machine, also you probably can't see the files on each desktop. Will have to set up each drive for network sharing & drag the file onto that drive.
