Hello,

I have 2 computers. One computer is running Windows Vista Ultimate, and the other, is using Windows XP home edition. Can i network these 2 computers? like share files and folders and stuff?

I would appreciate you help in this matter,

Thank you!

yes it will work, but you may need to do a few tweaks. First off make sure all the security settings in vista are enabled and running like file sharing network browsing etc. Then also make sure that proper shares are done on the XP side. Luckily vista is a bit more forgiving with XP, if you were trying with OS X or Linux I would just say good luck.

Make sure they are both in the same workgroup as well, then you should be able to browse by simply opening up any explorer window and typing in "\\nameofcomputer" with out the quotes and of course you would plug in the name of the computer (whatever you named it at set up).
