How to set up a home network between 2 computers using cable?bmw

If they're on the same wireless router, then they're on the same network. You can share files with one another across this network with no additional connections needed.

Create a new folder.

Right click on the folder and Go to properties.

Click on the sharing tab.

Click on the choice that says - I understand, just enable #$(%*%26 file sharing.

You should then be able to share that folder.

Right Click on My Computer

Go to Properties.

Click on Computer Name

This tells you the name of your computer on the network.

From the OTHER computer

Start - Run

\\ (two backslashes - above the enter key)

and the your other computers name

\\computername

Hit enter

You should be able to see the computer and the share.

If you're prompted for a password, you need to enable the guest account on both PCs - by right clicking My computer - going to manage - going to users - right clicking on guest, and enabling it. I would also set a password (the same) on each of the guest accounts.

Do the start - run - \\computername again.
