You don't need to for now. Can you see the "shared" folders on the first computer?

[kafenes]

yes.

[Sotos]

If you can, then open the "shared" folder of the other computer and try to copy a file from that "shared" directory to a directory on your computer. If you can do that then it is working properly (and then I will tell you how to see the "Network Places" on the other computer)

[Sotos]

yes.

Ok. So tell me if you managed to copy a file from one computer to another.

[kafenes]

Yes, it's working!!!!

[Sotos]

Ok. So to get the Network places on the other computer now:

1) Click on the "start" button
2) RIGHT click where is says "Turn off Computer" - click on "Properties"
3)Click on "Customize" button
4) Select the "Advanced" Tab
5) Scroll down on the "start menu items" list until you see "My Network Places" - select it.
6) Click OK
7 Click OK

Now you should be able to see "Network Places" on that computer also

Sotos you are a gem!!! And here I was all this time struggling to transfer files. Thank you very much!!! And sorry to the other forumers for having to put up with me.

[Sotos]

No problem Kafenes! I would suggest to you not to keep folders constantly shared. Just share them when you want to transfer files. I say this because you use Wifi and maybe you don't have it very well secured.

Yes. It is the same case as with Kafenes.
