    Firstly I apologize if this has been asked before or if this is in the wrong topic.

    I have just bought a new laptop (nc8430) and wish to share a folder from my main PC through a router.

    My main PC (running XP Home) is connected to the router (BT home hub) through ethernet and my laptop (running XP Pro) over wireless.

    I have zero experience when it comes to setting up a network in XP so explain as you would to a small child or a shaved chimp in basic easy steps. :confused:
