How do I get to files on the other computer on our home network?

1. If you want to check on the names go to START - SETTINGS - CONTROL PANEL - NETWORK - IDENTIFICATION
   • Each computer has a name.
   • computer #1 (Al's) is named ODIN
   • computer #2 (Kathy's) is named THOR
     
   • The workgroup name is the SAME name on both computers
   • On computer #1 the workgroup is named - VAHALLA
   • On computer #2 the workgroup is named - VAHALLA
   
   
2. START - SETTINGS - CONTROL PANEL - NETWORK - ACCESS CONTROL
   • Set to share-level access control on BOTH computers
   
   
3. START - SETTINGS - CONTROL PANEL - NETWORK - CONFIGURATION
   • Set to file and printer sharing for Microsoft networks - Microsoft Family Logon
   • Click FILE AND PRINT SHARING button
   • Select I WANT TO BE ABLE TO GIVE OTHERS ACCESS TO MY FILES
   • When you are finished with the file transfer you should go back and de select this option.
   
   
4. Set up the drive you want to share from on both computers.
   • Go to MY COMPUTER
     
   • RIGHT CLICK (on closed C or D folder) - SHARING
     
   • Select SHARED AS and keep name the file C or D
   • Select ACCESS TYPE - FULL
5. When done sharing files, undo sharing on both computers. Leaving the files "shared" opens a door to hackers from the internet.
