router firewall
I know nothing about routers or firewalls except what they basically do. On my home system, I have 3 Windows XP pcs and 2 printers wire connected by 2 Linksys routers to share the internet access and the printers (one router also has wireless for my daughter's iPod access) . A friend "helper" helped me set this up several months ago and it worked fine. The second router was added so that we could add all this stuff to the "network". It worked fine.But I have replaced one of the pcs and my "friend" is not available to help me set it up again. I would like to request some help on configuring the built-in firewall of one or both routers to allow me to access documents on one pc with this new pc.1 person got this answerI do too

Oops - had a problem and now it is resolved.Someone told me to go onto the desktop pc and open My Documents > Properties and the select the Sharing tab. I had already done that and it was checked in both boxes under Network Sharing. He had me unselect them and click Apply, then select them both and click Apply.Cool - this fixed it! Now I can access My Documents on the desktop pc from the tablet.
