    I have 2 PC and I have a DSL Router that is a gateway. OK, what I want to do it be able to access the other computers files from mine and be able to send files back and forward. Can someone please help me to get this setup? Thanks

    After plugging both computers into the router, you'll need to run the Network wizard from My Network Places (set up a home or small office network). Make sure the workgroup name is the same on both machines. Then, pick your folders you wish to share. Right click the folder, go to Sharing and Security. Check the two boxes below to share the folder over the network and allow users to change/modify files. If you want to name the sharing folder other than what comes up as default, do so before checking the second box.
