What I want to do is transfer all my files I have my main computer, to another one in the house (like, use shared-drives, mapping, or something similar).

Here's my setup::

Main computer -- D-Link Wireless-G 54 mbps router, ~4 mbps DSL, Windows XP Home Edition (SP2)

Other computer -- D-Link USB Wireless-G Adapter, Windows XP Home Edition (SP1) [the router shares the DSL between the main and other computer].

I've been trying for ~1 day now...what I've done are:

1. Right-click the drive (while in My Computer), and checking the "Share with the network" option.
2. Tools->Map Drive (this one only worked on the other computer, and so I could only share it's C drive with itself).

Is this even possible with the setup I have?

(Internet)~~~ Phone-Line<--->DSL-Modem<---->Router/Wireless---->Wired/Network-PC1

PC2 Wireless connect wirelessly to Wireless/DSL-router

No Problem
Remember to remove firewall in XPSP2 and No bridge (Network places properties) in XP-SP1
