newbie Question: Setting up Ad-hoc wireless network and share files/folder?

I am nothing about setting up ad-hoc and sharing the file . Can anybody
give me a link to a site that will show me exactly what to do ?
Also how do I access the files on the other computer? Using window
explorer?

I've never managed to get ad-hoc working, but theoretically you set
the two PCs to ad-hoc on the same channel, ensure they have fixed IP
addresses, ensure they're in the same workgroup, and they should find
each other.

Once you have the two talking, go to "my network places" and then
click on "view workgroup computers" to find the other PC. Or access it
directly from Explorer by typing "\\computername" into the address
bar, where computername is its name.
