OK this is the first time I try to do this and need some help.

I have a desktop running windows VISTA ultimate and a laptop running windows vista home premium and both connect to the INTERNET with a nergear wireless-n router .

this is what I need to figure out how to do .
I want to access each PC hard disk from each PC so I can transfer files in a secure way .

how I can do this ?

Hi!! This person has a lot of good tips on securing your wireless network..... http://Chris.Pirillo.com/2008/01/24/...eless-network/ I'd want to transfer disk files using encryption, I don't think you can encrypt on a Home Premium. (You might want to check.)

Hi gambler690

Have a look at the "laplink everywhere 4" guide and see if it helps:

Turn on file sharing on each computer, that should alllow to access to each on each.

If you open up the Help and support in the Vista menu, and type in the search box "Setting up a home network", it will tell you very precisely, everything you need to know.
Maybe you will find it a little too detailed, but the help and support function is an absolute goldmine and will answer most of the questions which appear on sites.
