    Documents and Settings - SHARING

    I have My Documents folder shared. "C" drive and my "G" drive also. C drive isn't that important to me but the external G drive is where I backup all the computers and keep my downloads. It is really the only reason I network them.

    Documents and Settings - SHARING

    I was talking about disabling simple filesharing. Not NTFS vs Fat32. I tend to type in shorthand. Not a good thing sometimes.

    Documents and Settings - SHARING

    Good luck as long as workgroup, network protocols and file systems are the same you should be able to get it working. I have always had the same profiles and passwords. Makes me less confused when I'm switching to the different machines. I also Remote Desktop them. You can reduce the window...

    Documents and Settings - SHARING

    Since they are both Pro change it to disabled in both computers and reboot. You might have to play with unsharing and sharing. If there is a $ in the share name(when you rightclick the drive ) then make a new share and just leave the $ off the name. Hopefully you are using NTFS also. It helps if...

    Wireless router

    With a wireless router. Connect both computers to its LAN ports. Don't connect anything to its WAN (Internet) port. Disable the router's DHCP server so that it doesn't interfere with ICS. You will need two nics on the one computer that is hooked to the modem.

    Dell Truemobile 2300 & Sagem USB modem

    Hey as long as everything is working you have won the battle. I had that router for a few days. It is good for Cable but my ISP is DSL and requires the MTU to be 1452 and that router has no way to configure the MTU.

    Dell Truemobile 2300 & Sagem USB modem

    No you didn't make yourself clear on the first post. Have you got DHCP disabled on the router? Here is the link for the manual.http://docs.us.dell.com/docs/network/p57205/en/index.htm It works better using that than the help files on the router. Make sure all the wireless are on the same...
