I have a Dynamode Broadband router connected to an XP PC by ethernet and
Vista connected by Wi-Fi to a laptop.
The broadband sharing works fine but I have just spent all day trying to get
the PC to talk to the Laptop and vice versa for printer and file sharing and
just cannot get anything working. The documentation I have got is abysmal!.
Can anyone give me a lead as to what I should do in what order?
Hi
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is
allowed to be shared.
