Lessons Included
Below are the descriptions for each of the lessons included in the series:
-
File Sharing: Disabling Software Firewalls
We recommend turning off all software firewalls on your computer before you try to share files and printers. The firewalls will often block the sharing without any notification they did so. This leaves you guessing as to whether the troubles you're having are with your networking settings or the firewall. By turning the firewalls off we remove this variable. If you need the firewalls you can re-enable them after your file and printers sharing is working and then deal just with the firewall settings if the sharing stops working.
We show turning off the firewall built into Windows XP and Vista as well as 4 major software firewall makers.

File Sharing: Printers & Files in XP and Vista
In this lesson, we show two computers: one running XP and the other Vista. They are both new installs so the settings we change are the default ones you would see if you never touched the networking and sharing settings. We set the computer and workgroup name, check the networking protocols, enable file and printer sharing in both XP and Vista. Then we share a few folders and printers on each computer.

Copy and paste the following snippet:
In my case it was Windows 7 to XP, but it is so similar that your excellent lesson works just as well as with Vista. Before the lesson, I was able to see the XP computer from the Windows 7 computer, but not vice-versa. Now I can read and write in both directions. Well done for a very detailed and clear description, and a good quality video - I could read everything easily.
