If you are using windows XP home edition i think you are completely @ss'ed out and the only way to really keep someone out would be to completely disable filesharing as stated above.  However, if you are using Windows XP Pro, you have an option to enable specific access right to users.   Ideally you could give you family a specific account with password and give them the appropriate access right you want and set it as unavailable for any other account trying to acess the data. \n\nTo do this  Open any folder, click on Tools| folder options | scroll all the way to the bottom and it should give u an option to enable easy file sharing.  You want to disable that.  Hit apply and okay.  Now go back and right click on whatever folders you want to share and it will allow you to set those access privs. i was talking about earler. \n\n\nhope this helps...

Run the networking wizard on both PCs. Make sure you use the same workgroup name on both systems. When done, you will need to enable file and print sharing on the systems to share documents or files. You will now see a sharing option in files and folders when you right click on them. You for instance can share the whole C drive if you desire!

Not clear on this one, but from what I'm reading I would guess the co worker that is sharing the folder needs to increase his threshold amount for users that can access the folder at one time. \n\nHe should be able to increase this in properties tab for that folder. \n\nTry this out.

Make sure it's at the top of the list in the preferred networks, you can even delete the other ones if you don't normally connect to them... Check out this reference, of Google for "preferred wireless network".  http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/columns/cableguy/cg1102.mspx

Here's information from Microsoft on how to do this.  If that link doesn't work do a search on http://www.microsoft.com for Ad Hoc Internet Sharing

Go to my documents, click the sharing tab and mark Make this folder private.  Most Local Area Networks (LAN) can be accessed via the "My Network Places " Folder , check that out and try to see if your files are there.

If you want to share  your brothere's Computer then First you have to creat the Local Workgroup and ceate your's computer and brother's computer the member of that workgroup. \n\nthen you can install one software called VNC (viwer and server) on both the computer.\n\nThen by open up VNC viewer and typeing  your brother's Computer name or IP addres.\n you can fetch his Desktop on your computer  and see what his doing at that point of time.  Best thing about  this software is that  he could not be able to feel that somebody is tracking him \n And you can beautfully Scare him.  \n\nBut you have to bring both the Computer in the LAN as the Guy above had Mention.

Here's how to share folders, http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/getstarted/shareresources.mspx, connect the two computers together using a LAN cable and file sharing/folder sharing SHOULD work.  What you want to do and what Windows wants to do may be two different things, I've successfully done this one many computers and some simply refused to acknowledge the connection.\n\nThere is an alternative, you can try Beamfile, http://www.beamfile.com/

You got it, the best way is through a router.  Just make sure it's a router with a built in ethernet switch (it should have around 5 network ports in the back).  Because it has a built-in firewall, it will keep your network safe from outside attackers while still allowing you to share files!

You just put it in a shared folder and when people use it , it will search your shared folder, if you specifically want to share it with certain people then I suggest you try out something like so \n\nwww.wfshome.com\n\nThat or setup and FTP server or something like that :)\n\nbullet ftp is a good example, so is cute ftp :)

You can not share internet connection to your friend unless your computer is in the same network as your friend. this means that either you are in LAN or in home network using a router.

I'm guessing you have the computer connected to a router through a cable. As long as the laptop and PC are both connected to the same router either wireless or with wires, you can connect them. You have to set up a workgroup.\n\nThe easiest way to do this is to go to Start then click control panel. Open the icon labeled System. Now click the tab that says computer name. It will have a button labeled Change... under the workgroup name. Type in a name for your workgroup. Now do the same on both computers.\nIf you want to be able to move files or transfer anything you have to set up sharing on anything you want to move.\n\nYou can set up sharing on either a file or an entire folder. Right click the file/folder and click "Sharing and Security...".  You'll see an area labeled Network sharing and security. Click the box next to share this folder on the network. If you want to change the name or allow users to transfer files to this folder you need to check the box next to allow network users to change... then click OK.\n\nYou will need to restart for this to work. It should tell you that.

Buy a router, so you can LOG into the internet with that, and share your connection.   The router also estabilishs a network, so you can share files between computers.  \n\nI recommend against wireless, unless you MUST.   A wired network is much easier.
