I have a laptop running Vista Home Premium connected wirelessly to a Netgear
router, and a PC running Win XP Pro connected via a cable to the same
router.
How do I synchronize My Documents, My Pictures, Outlook files and contacts
on both laptop and PC?
If I am in the wrong group, please direct me to a group that can assist.
Thanks in advance

Hi
Wireless is just a replacement to wire. Any general Network function that
works would work regardless of wire or wireless.
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is
allowed to be shared.

Hi,
I have carried out what you suggested.
Now, how do I "see" files in the other computer?
