Hi, ofcourse, i have wireless on both pc and laptop. pc has one wifi adapter and laptop having inbuilt wifi adapter, hardware.
                       Now can i fetch the files in laptop and browse and open and edit in pc. What is the simple procedure that i need to have this enabled.
                       can i access the dvd drive of the laptop in windows 7 and viceversa. There are some articles denoting sharing... But my confusion prevents me from attempting.
                        my pc has lan and laptop has wifi connection. My laptop has also a disabled Lan connection, a red cross in the system tray at the laptop.
                         my pc has win 7 and laptop has winxp

                             is it possible, if please give it in simple form without disturbing more hardware.

hi, expecting reply

Julian:
Try making the PC you wanted to connect to as a adhoc. Give me a moment let me find you directions.

Julian:
Hmm you could also make a cross over cable but I don't know how old your nic is because now a days nics can auto cross over with out the need to make a cable....

You are talking about Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) but to remotely access a DVD drive - how are you going to remotely insert the disk that you want to use :)

Here are a couple of articles that should help you, otherwise there are others you can browse through -
