    I am using a wireless network on my laptop through the wireless router connected to my brother's computer, the problem is that i have some files i would like to burn on dvd-rs but i dont have a dvd burner. my brother has a dvd burner. is there a way i can send the files through the network to my brothers computer in order to burn them on dvd-r, if so i would also like to know how much time it might take for 1GB.
    Thanks

    Nevermind, I've found out.
    If anyone wants to know here is what i did:
    >Go to My My COmputer
    >Go to Shared Documents and put the file/folder in it.
    >Go to the properties of the folder, go on sharing and check "share this folder in the network"

    On the other computer you have to go on run and put 2 back slashes (i.e \\) and enter the i.p of the sharing computer and a folder will and the files will be there.

    you could also open my computer click tools/map network drive put his ip and shared folder and it will appear under my computer like a harddrive so you can easily pass files back and forth.
