Huamin Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Hi, To share the folders between 2 PCs, which connect to the outside world by the same router through one broad-band line, should we close the firewall of one PC for making the shared folder open to other PC (I mean those connect together)?

Huamin Posted November 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 But it's only to share the folder of one PC to the other one. And both are connected together to the same router. Can we have a workgroup for both for their sharing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 I think that's the first thing to set up - a workgroup to which all computers belong to. Have a look at the various 'Networking Fundamentals' articles in this forum; it helped me a great deal when I set up my home network a while agohttp://www.windowsforum.org/forums/index.php?showforum=55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
