Newbie Question about networking! Should be simple for you guys.

I have 2 computers sharing internet connection via a Linksys Router and
Cable Modem. I switch back and forth between them using a KVM switch.

Is it possible to "see" the other computer when I am working on 1 of them?
Can I network them somehow? I want to be working on Computer A and be able
to copy a file to Computer B. Is this possible?

Thanks for the help.

Click My Computer and then right click the drive(s) you want to share
and select Sharing and Security and check share.

Do you use the KVM switch because you only have one
monitor/keyboard/mouse?

Travis, thanks for the reply.
Yes, I have the KVM switch because I want to only use 1 keyboard and
mouse........I have 3 keyboards and 2 mice.

I have 4 computers on the internet all using KVM switch. I can see any
computer from any other computer on my net. Just look in Network Places
(neighborhood) as long as you have shares (BTW - FYI) windows has automatic
shares - click start > run :\\computername\c$
Or
\\computername\admin$

or

\\ipaddress\c$
\\ipaddress\admin$

drive c = c$
drive d=d$
etc...etc...etc
