G5-G5 Wireless Home Networking with BT Home Hub

[danthetigger]

I have two imac G5s, a wireless printer and a BT Home Hub wireless modem without SKYPE. I hate wires with a vengeance and given that both my computers are fitted with airport express feel that there must be some way that I can transfer information from one to the other, wirelessly, without firewire cable, or DVDs being burnt or the like. I realise it's slower than firewire, but it also means I don't have to physically move both computers into the same room every time I want a file from one computer. I'm afraid when it comes to networking, I'm kind of ignorant.

If someone has time to explain how this is done by posting a kind of duffers guide, I would be a very happy man!

Many thanks - all questions answered

That's a very useful set of documents. Thanks so much... I knew it must be possible. But I'm surprised by the speed of a local wireless network - very pleased to discover that I can watch all my quicktime films on one computer with 'live broadcast' from the other without glitches or anything.
