Hi,

Every time I share a folder on my PC, it appears under the network location "The Internet" on my wife's PC (i.e. rather than under Local Network).

I'm connected via a Netgear Router which also provides the internet connection.

Would be grateful for any advice.

Thanks in advance...
 
well, sorry to barge in on your thread, but would it be possible to link both my computers through my wireless router? one is hardwired to it, the other is wireless currently

This seems to be normal with Cable/DSL routers setup that share a internet connection and LAN connection thru the router.
