Networking instructions

I'm looking to set up a network between two computers, both running the same OS and both using the same router / modem. Now, if I understand this correctly, once they are networked I'll be able to simply just drag and drop files, share information between the two (ie: access Computer B's HD from Computer A) without much hassle - correct?

Info appericated.

As long as you have file sharing setup (I assume you are using windows). Yes basically it's as simple as that. Make sure that they both are using the same workgroup.

Once they are in the same workgroup, you can either set specific folders as shared to easily drag and drop items into it or, access the admin share of each hard drive with C$ etc, and just drag and drop that way. I would recommend that if you are sharing between two systems that you either have a firewall in place or password protect that share. If not, anyone will be getting into your Pr0n.

May want to check to see if you have netbios enabled as well in the network settings.
