sharingfolder= name of the folder u shared on ur old computer

Answer 2

Make sure that both of your computers are a member of the same workgroup (right click My Computer, properties, Computer Name tab).

On the computer with the pictures you want to share, right click the folder containing the pictures and select properties, click the sharing tab, change to 'share this folder' or whatever, click ok.

You can then access the shared folder in one of two ways. One, open an explorer window such as My Computer and type '\\' in the address bar where is the name of the computer with the shared folder. Two, go into My Network Places, entire network, microsoft windows network, .

Answer 3

yes copy paste or click and drag

I dont quite understand the Question but....cable modem plugs into router, computers plug into router, thats a network, windows has a network wizard you can follow to set up home network, once set up just look in network places for the other computer icon, or if both computers have different names just go to start, run, type \\name of computer\ and hit enter, that should look for the other computer..
