Default Home network question.....PC Bods pls

Really dumb question....I have two laptops at home both connected wirelessly to a router.

Can I network them so each can access the others files?

If both running XP, you should be able to do it using the Network Wizard - START > CONTROL PANEL > NETWORK SETUP WIZARD.

I have two XP machines on my own network done this way (I also have a NAS drive as part of the router, but this shouldn't make a difference to the standard setup)

Set you shares and permissions, make sure both are in the same workgroup and you have the accounts setup, takes 10 mins. Did it here with a Vista laptop and XP desktop.
