    I need help setting up a home network, allowing file sharing between two laptops. I've been transferring files via USB back and forth...

    Is there a neat guide out there that will help me set this up? I'm trying to transfer files between Win XP & Win 7 notebooks.

    Thanks, any help/ suggestions would be appreciated.

    Setup a shared folder on XP, and have the Windows 7 computer map to it. :)

    ^^^ Yes, OP it really is that simple. Just make sure LLTD is installed on both machines.
