| Hi, I'm sure this should be very easy! We've currently got two computers (XP home) connected to the internet via a BT wireless router. We're trying to make a network to share files, but the wizard fails when connecting USB stick into second computer. I've tried allowing the other computer's IP through the firewall. Can anyone offer any help... it's getting really frustrating. Cheers |

In order to share files/folders, you need to have them shared with permissions granted to the other pc. Try putting the usb stick in the pc, then right clicking on that drive and sharing it, without going through the wizard. |
