Home Network-How to access another computer's files?

[swifferman]

I'm on a home network and want to transfer over some files from my old computer to my new one. How can I go about this?

Connected by wire too to a router. Burning CDs is a waste of time and a pain in the arse.

Any other solutions? Possibly through network file sharing or some such thing?

Thanks!

if u got msn on both you can msn it over . if you are on a network you usally can go pretty fast i have done 6 gigs in 2 mins before over msn on my wifi network .


other ways would be to enable sharing the folder and giving the other computers acess to them in permissions of that drive.

If you have WinXP, this link may help:

Make sure you have the same domain specified on all computers.

You need to enable file and print sharing.

Once you have do so can you right click on a folder in your old computer and Enable sharing.

Goto your new computer and you should be able to see this folder in Network neighbourhood

Don't select domain. It will go looking for a PDC (Primary Domain Controller). I think Ronny meant Workgroup.
