So here we go:

First make sure the dirrectory on the other computer in your network is free to the network.
To free it, right click on the folder or harddrive, then properties and then the seconde option(i have a german computer so its freigabe there but it should be something like network free folder or something...youl find it easily)
Then fill out the requirements including to give the folder a network free folder name.
After all that, you should be able to go back to your computer and remotely access it.(dont forget to leave on the other computer!!!)
Now go to start/network surrounding(or something like that)sorry my german shitty computer!!!
and open it.
Then add a network ressource(link is in the left menu of that directory)
and go through the instructions again. Youll have to give the directory place (computer\blablabalb\dir)
In the end, make a shortcut to this folder on your desktop and you will always be able to click on it if the other computer is on, to access and see the remote files.

To be honest, this isn't a good guide (if it can even be considered one). You find the answer much faster by typing it in the windows help than to decypher what is written here.

Try paragraphs, and proper terms.

Cracking Wireless Access Point Password? - Is it possible to crack the system setup password on wireless routers? (22)

Is it possible to crack the system setup password for a wireless access point - wirelessly? I
understand how to use tools like aircrack and airsnort to crack the network password used by
clients, but this will only grant you the client password to access the network. If there is a way
to gain access to the system setup password of a wireless router, please explain the process to me,
so that I can take all possible precautions to try to avoid this happening to my new wireless
network... Thanks....

My problem is that i want to connect my computers together to enable the sharing of files,

Computers Fighting For IP Address - (10)

Just got a internet problem the other day. Originally I have only two computers accessing the

myself, maybe I can give this new laptop wireless internet without installing all the useless

started to go online... I see a warning message on my laptop saying that there is more than...
