Connecting my laptop to my PC via my router?
    #7782089 - 12/20/07 03:40 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

How do I make it so I can copy and paste files from one drive to the other? Right now I enabled sharing on both computers. On my PC I can only see my drive in my network, on my laptop I can see my laptop's drive and my router, but neither computer shows on the other.

Make sure both computers use the same work group name. Right click on computer-properties-computer name

try turning any firewalls and anti-virus off windows is so fucking picky about shared networks sometimes it takes playing around and maybe a restart or two after turning everything off.
