you have to turn on windows file sharing and stuff in the network options for the adapter the link is on then if it can't see it
go on the laptop and find its IP
and then on the other one type in explorer: \\ipaddress\ to connect
to find its IP go to a shell: run > "cmd"
and run ipconfig /all
you might want to set it a static IPComment

You can directly map the drive/share using (at a dos prompt) or Start=>Run:
net use * \\machinename\sharename
Or
net use * \\machinename\$c
for the entire c: drive. The "$" tells windows it's a hidden share (drives are always mapped and are hidden).
The "*" means "use the next available drive". You can put your own drive letter in it's place:
net use y: \\machinename\$c
You can also use the machine's IP in place of the machine name.
"net use" is great for setting up batch files.Comment
