You don't need any extra hard ware other than a router or hub. If you have an internet connection, buy a router, if you just want to share files, buy a hub/switch. You'll need 2 network cables and you'll need to put both computers in the same workgroup for filesharing.

After u linked each computers with a cable to the router/switch. here's a few steps that u should do..


(1) GO TO>>My Computer>>My Network Places>>Set up a home or small office network>>>>

(2)(you'll see a Network Setup Wizrd box.)

CLICK next>>

CLICK next>>

MARK 'this computer connects to the internet through a residential gateway or through another computer on my network', then CLICK next>>

Descript and Name your computer(Anything) then CLICK next>>

Name your Workgroup(must be the same as the other computer that you wish to be connected), CLICK next>>

Select whether u wish to share printer or not, CLICK NEXT>>

(Wait)

MARK '...Just Finish.....'. and Finish.

(Apply the same setup to other computer).


(3) For file sharing and transferring.
Right click on the folder that u wish to share, Click on properties>>sharing>>>
look for underlined words on 'network sharing and security', Then Click it>>Mark all the boxes in 'network sharing and security', Click OK.


(4) When u want to look for the shared folder, just go to 'my network places'..then click on 'view workgroup computers'. The other computer that being connected should be seen.

Good luck.
