my family has recently purchased some wireless enabled computers and laptops.
3 windows computers (1 computer cabled to the gateway, the other two wireless enabled) - 1 wireless g4 powerbook (just got today)
I thought id share the wealth by allowing them access to my broadband and files. I bought a linksys wireless adsl modem gateway, I connected the gateway to my computer via ethernet cable and plugged the gateway to the telephone line.
I followed the instructions and set up my isp details in the browser. That was it..
the other 2 windows computers and the powerbook detected the wireless network and all the wireless computers have access to the internet via my broadband connection.
however im not sure how to access the other computer files??
I looked at this - https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/54704/
but i got a bit confused, plus i figured I needed to sort out the file sharing between all the windows computers first before trying to do it between a windows and a Mac
All my computers ahve their own names and are in the same workgroup but apart from that im not really sure what to do and everything I ve looked at on google was confusing (linsys manual/support wasn't any help either)
any help/advice would be appreciated
