How to network 2 Win7 PC's
I am trying to network 2 Win7 PC's, one is Home premium and the other is Professional. What I would like to do is access one PC from the other. I had no problem doing this in XP Pro.
Can someone steer me in the right direction, Help file, etc. ThanksThanks Bob Eyster Windows 7 Pro 32 Bit

It depends on what exactly you are trying to accomplish. Windows 7 offers same networking options and more.. In Windows 7, there is a new feature
called “home group”. Take a look at this article:

Hi Bob, do you mean remote control or access share folders? For file sharing, you can check the steps on a third party website:

Hi guys,
What I want to accomplish is to be able to copy files from one PC to the other, I guess you could call it remote access. I could do this in XP with no problem. In w7 all I see is sharing of libraries.
