Can anybody tell me how to make a wireless lan between to computers so I can share files.

Make sure all computers are on the same workgroup and then share a folder or put files in the "Shared Documents" folder. You might have to know the passwords, etc for the computer you connect to. It should be the same way you do it on a wired router, so it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

In the future you might want to direct these questions to the Tech forum, the cafe isn't really much of a help forum =/

You can put them in the Shared Folder like Dan!! said, or, as long as they are in your User's files, you can right click any folder, click 'Sharing and Security' (if it asks if you know the risks, just click 'Yes'). At the bottom click 'Share this folder on the network,' and give it a name. If you want to give users on your network full access, check the box that reads 'Allow network users to change my files.'

If you want to save time by not having to navigate to your network places every time you want to access network files from your client computer, there is this easy workaround:
Go to My Computer and in the left column right click 'My Network Places' and click 'Map Network Drive,' a dialog will pop up. Pick a drive letter to assign to the new network drive (N: for example) and click 'Browse.' In the Browse dialog open up 'Entire Network' then under that 'Microsoft Windows Network' and under that 'Mshome.' You should now see a list of computers on your Network, find the one you are sharing, click it open, and it will display a list of all the shared folders on the computer, find the one you want and select it. If you want the Network Drive to be accessible every time you are on the computer, check the 'Reconnect at logon' box and click finish. Now when you open My Computer, you should have a new network drive with it's own letter and the name of the shared folder, open it to access your shared files.


These are both assuming both computers you are sharing with are running Microsoft Windows, if not, you'll have to use some alternative such as FTP or SSH.
