i know nothing about networks but i need some help with what i need.
i have 2 desktop computers (with wifi) 2 printers (1 colour) (1 b&w laser jet) and a bt business router for internet.
i want to link both computers together so we can access certain files and both use the 2 printers ie both can print things to specific printers.
what will i need ie wires/hardware?
i want to do it with as little wires as possible as i hate them.
what options have i got and what will i need. cheers

Im guessing the 2 printers dont have network capability?
If so, share both printers on the network, as for the files, just share the folders on the network also.
Jobs jobbed, but you will need both machines on at the same time...

Same principle as XP, I could do it if I was there, but I'm not going to guess by trying to talk you through it as Ive never really used vista.
Have a look on the back of the printers and see if there is a network port, will look like the ones on your router...
