This seemed to be easy enough in the older days with two XP system and using Homeplug devices. However now using Wireless and two differing OS's and it has me stumped.
Is it realy so complicated or is there an easy 'one, or two, step' way that even I could follow????

Simply replicate accounts on both computers. Use passwords on each account. So for example, create an account "Peter" with the password "Paul" on the XP machine and do the same on the Vista machine. Also in Vista, go to Network and Sharing Center and make sure all the appropriate options are checked.0
