Now that you have this nifty network all setup, what can you do with it? First, let's set up file sharing. Double-click on My Computer, then right-click on your "C" drive, then choose Sharing from the context menu that pops up.

(picture did not copy)

Change the radio button to Shared As, leave the share name alone, choose Full if you want people on the network to be able to both read and write, or choose Read-Only if you want them to be able to just read but not write.

You may enter a password if you want, but you don't have to. Click OK and you're done. (Apply is to make the changes but leave the window open. By clicking OK, it will apply the changes and close the window).

Now follow the same steps on any other drives you wish to share. If you'd like, you could just share certain folders or files instead...but IMHO it's a pain to do it that way.
