Meh, I actually had this working until my dad's laptop crashed and now I can't get it working again so I need some advice from you tech gods around here. I need to reformat my entire drive, from beginning to end, but first I must backup 17GB of music and an entire anime series to his laptop. I don't have a secondary drive, and I don't have a CD-R/W drive either which basically means I need to transfer this stuff wirelessly to his computer.

Now like I did before (with the wonderful help ServerNazi provided me), I tried setting up a normal network.

I opened My Network Places and clicked "Setup a Home or Small Office Network" and did that on both computers. The workgroup names were the same "MSHOME" on both. Then I verifyed the share folder on both computers was being sharred, and then restarted. They never appeared.

So what Im looking to do is make it so I can get 17GB of content onto his computer as quickly, and as easily as possible. Please guide me through this with your wisdom. Thank you.

Haha we figured it out. The entire time it was the Windows Firewall, the P.O.S. Now, I just finished formatting my computer (what an expierience, lemme tell you... -note sarcasim). So now I must do updates.
