    I have tried setting up my network so that i can share files, my PC connected to the router picks up my other PC, but how do i find the files that im sharing from the PC that is on the router on the other PC? When i double click my other PCs name on the PC with the router it say i do not have access? Anyone help (that decription is very confusing i know)

    *Now i have found the network on my other PC, but it says i dont hace the rights to access it, and something about contact administrator. Anyone?

    try running the network set up wizard in xp make sure both computers are in the same workgroup and make sure that you have at least one shared folder on each machine you can do this by right mouse click and select sharing
    Also you must be in a profile that gives you adminstrative privaledges

    Well, make sure you have 2 pc on the same network (workgroup) and change folders to share.
