    Hi, I've already set up the wireless internet between one desktop (Vista Home Premium) and a laptop (Vista Ultimate). Now I'm trying to find a way to transfer files through the network. I've done some researching online but still can't figure out how to do it, so if anybody knows how I'd really appreciate it if there's a step by step guide to set it up.

    Thanks philfna, it worked. Now the only problem is that when I click on "Network" on my laptop, nothing appears, I have to type in "\\MEKD-PC" for the folder to come up, any suggestions?

    Map it as a local drive on your computer.
