Connect desktop to laptopI have a Vista desktop connected to the internet, and I have a Vista laptop
which is not connected to the internet. For various reasons I dont want to connect the laptop to the internet. Both have wireless capability. I would like to be able to connect the 2 computers together wirelessly (at home), so that I can acces files and run programs on the desktop from the laptop. Can this be done ? Can someone point me in the right direction please ? Thanks K See these for help...
