| | Re: Set up a wireless network You are entering into post XP networking Hell if you want to set custom permissions for sharing particular folders/files. The permission settings are arcane and non-intuitive. Even worse, the settings you laboriously create may work for a time and then no longer work. Microsoft will deny that instability exists but I doubt there is a single user who has not experienced it. Microsoft wants to force you to use the "Public" folders for this purpose. If that suits you then what you propose will be easier to accomplish. If you are not familiar with networking I recommend you start there. You will have to set up programs on each computer to save files, like documents and images, to Public folders. If you use the firewall built into Vista/Win7, and there is absolutely no reason for most people to use anything else despite what you may have read, then there should be no problems with the firewall. |

Sharing files between windows stations for someone that doesn't already have the experience should be a test/play thing, you will have to disable the windows firewall and since they are laptops you run the risk of them being compromised - worse if they leave your location. You could also buy a NAS drive, a network shared hard drive, and everyone could share files through that. -- You can't trust your best friends, your five senses, only the little voice inside you that most civilians don't even hear -- Listen to that.
