Trying to set up file share between two home computers?

I'm using MS network setup wizard, and at the end it tells me that I need to save the network settings to a disk to install them on all client computers. But none of my computers have floppy drives or flash drives and that's the only way that it will let you save? How do I get the settings on my second computer?

I aint sure but that is what I hate bout this new comp Im using (my sis's and her b/f til they move out) there is no floppy drive - I have to set my old one up just to get info off the floppy's

If it doesn't have a floppy drive it does have a USB port use that you can copy this info onto a portable MP3 player and transfer the info
if you are using xp, when it says that it gives 4 options, right, just click on no, just finish the wizard and let windows do the rest, you just have to mark the folders you want to share, and decide whether you want them read only, or read/write, and have the open or specific users, passwords, all that
Set all the coupters in one work group.



Create users with same name and password on all the machines.



Then you can start sharing.
dont worry about that last step, just select "just finish" xp isnt like 98, you can just goto the other machines and go through the same setup, only make sure you are not telling all the computers to connect to the internet the same way and yes make sure you are putting the same workgroup name on all the computers or it will not share files or printers.
install a floppy virtual on both machines http://chitchat.at.infoseek.co.jp/vmware...



copy the written data from the floppy to cd then go to the second machine and copy the data to any folder, set that folder as virtual floppy disk and the ms network wizard will be able to load from that floppy disk.
hyperterminal may be the solution. but u need to work on it before u can transfer files. u have to configure ur ip and then transfer the files. I mean u can simply configure ur ip to 10.1.1.1 and the host compu ip and open up a hyperterminal window %26gt; define the Connection as TCPIP or such and eureka its done
a software called "Network magic" is your answer.
