I have a LAN network on which I have 3 computers, all working well together, sharing files and printers, connecting to the internet, etc. Two of the computers run Vista Home, and one (mine) runs Vista Ultimate x64.
I have a Linksys router which is also Wireless.
I just bought a netbook running Windows 7 Starter. I would like to be able to sync this netbook with my computer, the one running Vista Ultimate x64. Ideally, I would like NOT to have to plug the netbook into a cable, but rather to connect via WiFi.
Is it possible to set them up such that they can see each other? Someone told me that the LAN and WiFi are 2 separate networks and, thus, the 2 computers could never see each other... I kind of doubt it, because I can see the printers in both LAN and WiFi network, so --I am hoping-- logic would suggest that two computers could see each other, too....
Could someone help, please? Thank you.
