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.

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

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 -

Hi, Boggins, I want a simple solution. The scenario,
I want to access the files in my laptop having xp to my windows 7 pc wirely connected , and a wireless dongle to use in spare.
How to go about it? I should be able to open the file to see or to edit if necessity arises.
I tried to learn thro the links, it was a little bit confusing.

I don't have a XP machine to try things out on, only having two Win 7 laptops - but as it's rare that I need two on together, I've never needed to do RDC - and can't check the articles out for you because my other laptop is in for repair.
You will need to log into the router to assign the target computer with a static/reserved IP address, but these are other Google links that deal with a XP machine being the main source.
