Setting up a Network

aardvaak

I have a BT Home Hub the is connected by a wired connection to a Win 7 laptop which has the printer attached.

I also have a Win 8 laptop and a Win 7 laptop that are connected by wireless.

Can someone please tell me how to connect them all together in a network so any of the three laptops can use the printer etc?

You probably just need to share the printer on the computer it's attached to.

This should do it:

Thank you but what about if I want to share/pass files to the other computers.

How do I "locate your computer on the network." as in the article

Use homegroups will be back with a link....soon

Starter for 5 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows/homegroup-help

[STRIKE]Unless you have 7 pro then start with the 8 machine and then join the homegroup from the 7 ones[/STRIKE]

Ignore that that only applies to 7 Starter/Basic on that web page there is a down arrow on the Windows 8 bit that shows 7 too
