OK.
1) Click where it says "Network Setup Wizard"
2)Then click "Next"
3)The click "Next" again
4) Select the First option, then click "Next"
5) On the first input box enter a description e.g. "Kafenes Computer". In the second box enter a name e.g. "Kefenes", then click next
6) Type a workgroup name in the box. e.g. "MSHOME" (remember this name!), click next
7)Select first option, click "next"
8) Click "next"
9) Wait a bit until is done
10) Select LAST option, click "next"
11)Click Next

You should be done. If it asks you to restart the computer, restart.

Then you need to do the same for the other computer.

Then come again here and I will tell you how to share the files.

Just remember in the second computer to use the same workgroup name (step 6) e.g. "MSHOME"

Ok sotos, done that and restarted both computers and created 2 folders naming them 'shared'. I have an icon of a folder with a hand underneath now.

Good! Do you see the "My Network Places" either on your desktop or when you click the "start" button?

[kafenes]

Yes, I do. When I press 'start'.

[Sotos]

Ok so click on it, then press the "F5" button on your keyboard to refresh. Do you see the "shared" folder of the other computer?

[kafenes]

Yes I do.

Sotos, I cannot find the 'my network places' on the second computer!
