this article might help out.. but the reason im posting this is cause lots of people have wireless, yet fail to secure it. Allowing your neighbours to use up your bandwidth, or use it to do illegal things. Or in the case of a friend of mine, use it to get his credit card number as he did transactions over wireless when it was un-secure (thankfully his neighbour was a nice person and told him about it rather than use his credit card info)

hey, ive set everything up, but i cant access the folders i wish to share from one of the computers....if i set a folder to be shared on computer B, then computer A can see it and access it. but if i set a folder to be shared on computer A, computer B cant see it or access it. any ideas? thanks

Do you have a shared network folder set up to put the files into?

yeah, i have shared other folders from computer B and computer A can see them....but Computer B cant even see the shared documents folder from Computer A, nor can it see other folders i have set to be shared...
